    I won't keep posting these, RIP Professor, you are learning quite a bit more now. I'm extremely grateful for Professor Sugrue bringing wisdom to those of us who haven't had the college education we wanted. Still learning and won't ever stop.

    Thank you Dr. Sugrue. You introduced me to philosophy, you made learning fun again. When I found your channel, I was skipping university and abusing prescriptions. I started to watch your channel every day as I was rediscovering myself and coming to grips with my problems. You inspired me to finish my bachelor’s degree, Im getting my last few courses this winter. I never had a father and you seemed like a good role model haha. I found god for a while and now I have a very complicated relationship with faith, but its enriched my life significantly. Ive gone on enough about myself, the point is, you’ve touched my life more than you could have ever known. Thank you for everything, you will be missed. Thank you Gen for this channel and the opportunity to see this side of your father, good luck to you going forward

    🙏I’m so SAD to learn that this beautiful, wonderful, amazing Professor passed away in Feb. Perhaps this is how I came across his video on my feed recently. I have been watching his lectures.
    I wish he was here to explain what is happening to us today. I mean in US and the world. Would love to have heard his ideas. I’m sorry he suffered with cancer. Perhaps this why his mouth is so dry, from side effects of treatment. I’ve been there and still struggle with dry mouth daily.
    Rest in Peace wonderful Teacher.❤

    Since this video was published 13 hours ago, I have listened to it 5 times. Here are just two small ways this lecture 'blessed' me. First, I consider Sugrue a role model not just because he taught and inspired so many students, is considered an intellectual giant, and combines witty humor with deep penetrating insights, but mostly because of my admiration for his tenacity. It is rare to witness someone so dedicated to his craft. Second, this lecture helped reveal a pattern. Surgrue never let go of his initial "a-ha" moment while thinking about the challenge of writing a course on world history as he walked through the John Hopkins Library. Certainly, the vicissitudes of professorial life (grading papers, updating syllabuses, and teaching recalcitrant undergraduates) delayed actualizing or bringing to fruition what was originally planted in his soul as a post-doc adjunct, core passion. Still, nevertheless, thanks to RUclips, his daughter, and some of his disciples, we get to enjoy another stellar lecture. Today you gave us the outline for your book on World History. It may not be enough, but at least we could theoretically make a table of contents for your book now. THANK YOU!!!!

    10.00. We are thoughts of others, whose thoughts did not die with them due to the inventors of symbolism. I like the way you bring me with to meet my past, Sir Sugrue. This very trait of symbolism tells us apart from other organisms. I want to know whether this its is an achievement towards a destiny not yet known to man.

    it's strange that he assumes that things like the writings of Homer and Gilgamesh and the Bible are all derived from ancient oral traditions, but he's requiring evidence of physical symbol usage as his benchmark for when humanity began. methinks he never actually thought through this position.
    the fact that you can tell somebody else something means that your ideas don't die with you. indeed this is a prerequisite of physical symbol usage, since not only do you have to say what you're thinking, you also have to explain how the symbols indicate that thinking.

      I think it's an old symbol for sex (a snake inside of a cave?) and possibly life? (You emerge from the cave, sometime after the ritual experience, whatever that was)

    Dr. Segue, May God heal you, and guide you. Sickness is allowed as a course correction, to move the individual toward worshipping God Alone, and, paying for previous sins. The whole point to life is to provide a record of utterances and actions that proves beyond lip service that you know that God alone is doing everything.. Seek God's (the Father's) kingship over you and the rest follows. Psalms 91 explains the mechanism.. I hope and pray for a full recovery for you. Peace.

    (This is a criticism of the ideas themselves, not Dr. Sugrue) 13:33 Yeah, totally superfluous. This Machiavellian, consequentialist, Just World Fallacy BS, is the most destructive idea to ever come out of Greek philosophy, and perfectly proves the point the Sophists were exemplifying; people with no understanding of the natural world will totally latch on to terroristic ideologies like The State if it sounds good and is useful to them 13:59 Yeah I'm sure Aristotle would've totally believed some men are "natural slaves" if he had been a slave himself. Philosophy really is a scourge

    • @mike-0451
      @mike-0451 Год назад +1

      Philosophy is not a scourge. It is a victim of the sin as much as anything else in the world. By man came death, by man came also the resurrection. By the world came silver, by the world came the tarnish of sin; so too does the diaphanation of things in the fulmination of the Last Adam.
      If by philosophy came the vocation to nothing (interiority, the fortification of the self against the world), then the resurrection turns him inside out, until I am becoming a life giving spirit.
      If by philosophy came the worship of rust and decay, then by the resurrection comes the symphony of silver and the choir of κένωσις.
      If man was sown in paper skin, he becomes the canvas of κήρυγμα. If man was sown with glass for bones, then glass becomes kaleidoscopic.
