If that were true, Michael would prefer to donate money rather than speak words to serve well. Not saying money isn’t powerful or is secondary; but he is a public speaker, right? Saying it’s more powerful is a stretch🤣
With all gratitude to Micheal Sugrue Sir, I am an ESL. I am in recovery from drugs and alcohol. I have learned most of my English by just watching your videos. You have no idea how profoundly your work will change the world. I promise you will hear my gratitude someday in person
Congratulations on your accomplishments! I mean both your recovery and your learning a language are noteworthy personal achievements. This lecture will be of particular interest to you. I’ve found reading de Saussure particularly useful in learning Spanish, especially when wrestling with false cognates on one hand, and shades of meaning on another. If you find the Structuralism of Levi-Strauss interesting, have a look at Roland Barthes, who wrote about semiotic systems (some quite prosaic). If the Structures of Myth is of interest, you might read Mircea Eliade. Sugrue (in my limited exposure) is a great synthesizer. The material he is covering here is material I encountered in varied courses at university in the 80s. I encountered de Saussure in a linguistics class. Levi-Strauss appeared in an anthropology course. The writings of Mircea Eliade and Roland Barthes (and again Levi-Strauss) were course material in a Religious Studies class. I wish I had Dr. Sugrue to tie together this seemingly diverse material.
@@dr.michaelsugrue ❤️ there is a lecture about Marcus Aurelius, I have been listening to this particular lecture over and over since 2018! I believe I have had to listen to this at least 3/times a week, and I had listened to it some time over. I love to learn, I love honesty and I Love to love, yet people do not take it in a way that I feel comfortable choosing a role in society! If I have to shake the world to be able live as an honest man, consider the world shaken already! The reason I promised to see you one day, is my discourses over Power, Christianity, The shadow beyond the republic! Thank you!

Yeah that's a lot of psychology or babel to digest but he seems to pour it out frantically in this lecture when in most of his lectures he seems more comfortable unless I missed more than the few listened too there's so many lectures it's like having to seize the moment then walk away because it could stay with like the flu coughing and sneezing this and that in social gathering could alienate you from the commonality of the group and atmosphere just thought that would help avoid any confusion about devouring more than a fixed source of literature.
I am extremely grateful for your uploads sir. I wish your recently recorded one had the same audio quality. You have introduced me to the Western philosophy like I am an 8 year old.
I have been devouring the content on this channel for the last couple of weeks since finding it and I’m just really glad that new material is being uploaded with such regularity. Thank you for these, they’re just excellent.
I love semiotics and structuralism and deconstruction and just tracing how one idea spurned on the next. Ultimately not a fan of most of where these 💡 have led politically today but like the evolution of thought. This lecture gives me an appreciation of the wider scope Saussure and his followers were aiming for. Parmenedian oneness or wholeness as I think he puts it.
I personally like Magliolia’s take on Derrida, which is to say that Derrida went deep into the philosophical tradition in order to understand and expound its inadequacy. The missing element is when people read Derrida and assume they don’t have to learn the tradition themselves because “Derrida said it was bullshit”.
Dust is the starting point of Honey and the end point of Tobacco. Honey is produced out of dust (polen from flowers), tobacco produces dust (ashes). In the context (structure) of dust, they are opposite.
That is a very clever idea. I never thought of it and you may be right. My only uncertainty lies in the fact that bread, for example is produced out of flour, which is also "dusty".
@@dr.michaelsugrue Maybe, it's just an analogical example out of many, where "Dust" is that underlying substratum? For instance, [ Bread ] is the opposite of [ Bones ]. Just like the professor said, structures not contents. Though still it poses a question between "The nature of dust" and "the characteristics of dust", both the differences and similarities.
Any chance of a lecture on the political thought of Leo Strauss? I doubt he'd be in this series but perhaps you have something somewhere or you could perhaps give some of your thoughts in a livestream one day.
@@agaanim5898 Oh I haven't forgotten! 😄 I see it's scheduled for Saturday, Oct 15th this year. I don't see a location listed yet. Do they stream any events online do you know?
I once heard that all of Western Philosophy is merely the dialogue between Plato and Aristotle with Nietzsche trying to interrupt the conversation -- everything else is merely footnotes. After listening to all these lectures, its hard not to believe that line is the only universally true statement in philosophy.
If I remember correctly, as per Marvin Harris, the fx. Of the proscription of cow slaughter in India was the use of poop for fuel,fertilizer, cleaning and antiseptic (believe it or not).
Man I feel for his students back then, trying to concentrate on the lecture rather than the man himself, I'd be too distracted by inappropriate thoughts 😍
My question for the structural anthropologists is, what is the value of discovering these substeuctural details if we cannot reach the final ultimate structure which ties them all togeather. Without this final piece, what is the point?
I want to go into a little bit more detail why I think Strauss created pseudoscience: imagine a "structuralist" mineralogist. He looks around (like a functionalist) and constructs a minimal table of what possible minerals there could be: sand, granite, boxite clay. Obviously all minerals can only be permutations of these three. Malinowski goes to Trobriand Islands and discovers gneiss. Or better yet, volcanic sulfur. Well, structuralist is unphased: sulfur is just sand, but with some quality of clay and firm almost like granite. Just like psychoanalysis, structuralism is not "incorrect", it's simply can never be wrong. There is no procedure that could ever prove something untrue within structuralism.
India, although containing multiple cultures within it, all the individual subcultures are heavily dependent on milk produce, and the ox was also used for agriculutre. However eating the cow can solve immediate food shortages, but keeping the cow and ox alive can sustain a family for a longer time. So, the functionalist arguement can make some sense? Thoughts?
2:58, Sounds like category theory to me., "connect these structures, structurally one might imagine, to find a larger structure. This large structure of structures will be the structure of human existence itself in a sort of logical algebraic form". Pretty close!
What came first? Levi-Strauss was developing his ideas in the 40s and 50s, and published his first work on structural anthropology in 1959. Category theory came out in the mid 40s? But Levi-Strauss was explicitly drawing from the ideas of de Saussure, who gave his Course in General Linguistics in 1911! I know very little about Category Theory, other than the vague notion that it’s related to topology, perhaps a sub-branch. On a related note, I recently discovered how to remove a shirt while wearing overalls, without unhooking the overall’s straps. I was proud of this achievement in practical topology, and spent the next few hours demonstrating it to anyone willing to watch.
@@MarcosElMalo2 The ideas of category theory came out of algebraic topology, but it's really a theory of mathematical structures themselves (and how they relate) more than a branch of anything else. It's about how the different branches of math relate to each other.
That was interesting, as a species we are terrific at writing narratives, aren't we? I wrote one yesterday in relation to an individual that I labeled as co-dependent. I'm not a fan of such labels but in this case it was necessary to be able to write the narrative. I wrote a whole description of his behaviour and how looking after me was like trauma bonding, it gave him reason to think about someone else besides himself for a change. How people need to feel valued and keeping me dependent on him ensured his value. A whole narrative on his thoughts and actions but the truth is that he doesn't think at all. But I took the narrative and related it to another co-dependent so that he might think, but to be honest, I don't think he will, he will just consider himself more knowledgeable about human behaviour.
At least include the hyphen, right? I don’t know if the idea was original, but in a university literary magazine someone wrote a tongue-in-cheek essay about the “501 Code”. Which buttons or combinations of buttons were unfastened signified different things about the jeans wearer. So there is your cross over between Levi Strauss and Claude Levi-Strauss.

O.k. beginner here but this sounds like Plato except that Plato had a healthy disrespect for writing. What I know so far is that there are two great schools of philosophy - materialism and idealism. Structuralism is idealist, yes? So why did people retreat from science to quasi religious idealism?
Leo or Levi? Are we talking about the philosopher or the guy who created blue jeans? I have yet to listen, but my favorite factoid about Leo Strauss is his claim that the ancients, and the Moderns, and everyone in between were not free to be truthful and honest in their writing, and us we must read between the lines to understand the true intention and meeting.
The mushrooms showed me all of this. The Bible is a book on human psychology. Its truths are not metaphysical and absolute, but psychological and relative.
So cows can't be eaten in India. I understand it's for religus reasons but is power and fear a factor to? Did a person in a position of power decide this for whatever reason?
Why can't I order dog in Ireland? In fact I might go to jail for selling dog meat and be labelled an immoral monster. Yet I can abort my unborn children on a whim and be classed brave for such an action. I find it ridiculous how those who scream against power structures are so deeply entremched in them themselves. They cannot see their own dogma and blindly assume it is not dogma but self evident reality.
Great lecture Professor, I say humans structure everything they see, they love the grammar around sin, not the truth nor the morality itself! For example the details around the Royal Families or the church! Otherwise they were vegans and pro lgbt
