Uff... mind blowing. So true in 2024. Been listening to Sugrue's lectures in RUclips since 2018, many of his classics... this one is almost prophetical
The depth and span of this lecture is truly astonishing, then consider the amount of information contained within its parameters is mind boggling. This man is a treasure.
Thank you so much for all these lectures. I've watched them all many times. I studied medicine and always regretted having to turn my back on the humanities, which was always my most intense passion. Professor Sugrue, cheers to you sir for a life spent well. Bless.
It’s immensely refreshing to hear someone from the hard sciences give the commensurate respect for Philosophy - instead of the stereotypical disdain that’s far too common in these fields, if more of your colleagues had access to this knowledge I feel many mistakes and perhaps even lives would be saved. I sincerely agree with iain mcghilchrist that science became naive when they divorced themselves from and started looking down at philosophy. Even when I attend my gp I see so many mistakes in their thinking, especially In regards to epistemology.

What this course illuminates more than anything is the importance of human dedication to politico-cultural study, interpretation, and postulation, and I can hardly think of a better lecturer to inspire others to these grand goals.
How wonderfully generous of spirit to release these lectures on RUclips. I am grateful for your time and effort in uploading all these videos. There is something very special about this man. Thank you.
I've enjoyed about a dozen or so Michael Sugrue lectures on RUclips so far. Very fascinating to find this video at the end of the series, which is an absolute lightning strike of prescience regarding life in the 2020s.
Absolutely love these lectures, this channel has definitely been the one i've visited the most last 2 years or so. Dr. Michael, you are the best teacher I've had, your lectures have enriched my life by orders of magnitude. I teach maths but I am now planning on pivoting towards cognitive science and your teachings played a major role in the realization that this is where my passion is. Calling you an absolute legend would be an understatement - thank you once more and cheers from Poland
Wish i could have been there to give a standing ovation! Simply fantastic! Useful, inspiring, challenging, and really quite life changing! Thank you Doctor!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on almost all important philosophers and their philosophies. I am impressed by your clarity of thought and communicative agility. The lectures are succinct but comprehensive. These lectures reflect profound knowledge, deep erudition, and great eloquence. As a teacher, you are an inspiration for me.
Never has more ground been eloquently covered in 45 minutes time. Bravo. If I'd have been listening on audio, I'd have thought this was recorded last week.
Dr Sugrue, thank you so much for making these available and for the podcast on spotify. These works are of indispensable value. I am a master's student in Philosophy and the Humanities and have found these to be, though accessible, to be of a quality that transcends conventional undergrad/grad/postgrad level distinctions.
I’m absolutely blown away about Sugrue’s brevity in concluding the critique and condition of our time. It is almost poetic in some sense, but a stark reminder of many unpleasant conditions
This whole series was absolutely amazing, but this last lecture will really stick with me. Thanks for posting these, they're an incredibly valuable resource!
"“May I suggest to you that our concern with marginalized discourses is a means to take control of the state... postmodernism is the will to power of contemporary intellectuals.” Dr Sugrue argued this, what, 30 years ago? Surely, this kind of insight is the benefit of true scholarship.
Mr. Sugrue is a hero and it is beyond me how can a person know so much. If he is able, can Mr. Sugrue make like a list of 20, 50 books that are must read? That would be awesome.
Grateful for Dr. Surgue's series, all of them. Loving, too, that he mentions "Cybernetic Communications" here, in the pro and con-- the pro, for me, being that these lectures made their way onto RUclips, some years after the fact.
I don't always fully agree with Sugrue's takes on these thinkers but his passion for the subject and his ability to communicate their concepts accessibly are incredible. If I had to show anyone a single video explaining why philosophy is worthwhile his lectures would top the list.
To this day, I listen to his Marcus Aurelius lectures several times a month, never get tired... I have shared with many of my friends and they have become Michael Sugrue followers as well. Last I heard of he was at Ave Maria University in Florida,, any updates on him would be appreciated
It is not without a little wistfulness and sadness that I listened to this last lecture especially since it seems to portend the conclusion of a journey and perhaps finally reaching a destination...if in philosophy we ever attain to such. On the road behind lies scattered the dust of misapprehensions, false beliefs, ignorance....of dragons slain and mountains summitted. We stand hopefully wiser, humble, more compassionate. It remains to thank our guides and conductors: Michael's daughter, her acolytes and lastly, the man himself, Michael, our Messiah.
The most relevant talk I've listened to this year, wow! There is so much going on behind the facade of the current political landscape and it's nice to hear some substantiation to this idea.
"I suspect that 50 years from now Post-Modernism will be a cul de sac, something no one reads anymore and.. I'm not so sure that's a bad idea." !!! Omfg I fucking "DIED" LAUGHING! 🤣🤣🤣. Prof dropped some banger lines in here. Especially the one about Colleges being a safe "Jurassic Park" for modern intellectual Marxists that couldn't survive out in the Darwinian "Real World", so that we can observe them! Props professor Sugrue. Dropping gold bombs I swear.
I enjoyed this series immensely and learned quite a bit (even if some of the concepts were complex or maddeningly abstract). The lectures were eloquently presented by a master of his profession. (Many thanks for that!) Nevertheless, I'd be lying if I said that most of these brilliant minds were faithful to their theories and lived them fully. Many disconnects exist between their ideas and the way these people chose to live their lives. For the rest of us, that's understandable; philosophy is not our profession, nor do we assume to proffer words of wisdom about life in order to make a living. The standards for philosophers are supremely higher exactly because it IS their profession and livelihood. Electing to impart wisdom is a weighty responsibility; a higher degree of integrity and intellectual honesty is demanded. Some fall woefully short.
Love this, 10/10. A shame that pomo has taken over more and more. Hopefully there will be more lectures to watch in the future from Dr. Sugrue. If not, back to Plato's dialouges for meditation
Prof. Surgue's optimism about shared common sense is refreshing: I wonder what his younger self would have thought about contemporary American academia.
Professor. Sugrue, I long for the day I can have a conversation with you and thank you for all your contributions. Would love to invite you on my podcast for a conversation, talking about all things philosophy, theology, and life in general. Thank you!
Very spicy lecture, highly based. XD In all seriousness this is a sublime lecture and wonderfully thought provoking and clearly articulated in a balanced and non-biased manner
I have really enjoyed the series and am grateful. I wish there was a few more diagrams or other visual aides as it would have helped to covey the information and to assist in analysing the information covered. Again thank you for your excellent series.
Hello, it has been a few short months since your last upload. I hope everyone is well. I listen to your lectures frequently and if there is anyway that I could help you to convert old recordings and get them uploaded it would be my pleasure to be of assistance. I know projects such as this can be quite time consuming, so I thank you for all you have done and for sharing your work. These lectures have made a difference in my life and helped me to change the way that I think in a positive way. Thanks very much.
The series is pure academic gold, I really appreciate it a lot for a quick and often thorough recollection of all these thoughts (Sugrue should have not mentioned Luhmann, it was embarrassing). I thank him very much for it all. But in this final chapter, in this conclusion I really can smell the ressentment. It is not easy to bring forth a publicly likable judgement about titans of thought who thought so much richer and more imaginative than Sugrue does - and also, he does not have a theory of his own to present. But he still wants to make a strong point against postmodernism in the end and so after all the crazy-good thought he brings out the shallowest, most nonfallible argument of vulgar marxism - oh boy, "there is self-interest!" "Look out! The postmoderns use theory to gain power." But so do their academic opponents and so did Mother Theresa. To me that is like reaching out for the crowbar after having studied surgery for 8 years. Anyway, what a great great series, no complaints could offset the enormous value this collection has. It is a treasure.
I would love to hear him talk about people like Ludwig von Mises,Friedrich Hayek,Murray Rothbard,Henry Haslitt,Frederic Bastiat,Walter Williams,Thomas Sowell,Milton Friedman,Ron Paul and other economists who lean to libertarian side (Austrian and Chicago school of economics) and unlike leftists or right wing conservatives who want to take control of the state for their own intetest,people like libertarians actually want to limit the power of the state and break up its monopoly on violence..neverthless,great lecture as always
Michael, do you have a lecture on "Process and Reality" by Alfred North Whitehead? Or perhaps any thoughts you'd be willing to share if you are familiar with the work. Thank you.
Wow...Just wow. He helps build a window for a new Humanism in Philosophy...The Academy has become intellectualized into a self-worshipping cult. May the great thinkers of the 21st century bury the Empiricism, Positivism, and other forms of self denial or self hate. There is no limit on the value of human ideas. Philosophy is not pessimistic. Rather, it is a crowning achievement of human life and it signals the possibility of unending development of the greatest resource--explanatory human knowledge.

Probably the best series of lectures on philosophy out there. Fascinating to see how relevant this is even tho it was decades ago.
Stuff like this will always be relevant... probably
As they say, last century's philosophy is this century's common sense.

I do not know the year of this lecture, but it is remarkably insightful and stands up extremely well in 2022.
1992
Your videos deserve many, many more views! Excellent stuff.
His discussion of the Marxist and postmodern Jurassic Park of the modern University is so spot on and even more of a reality in 2023.

Brilliant as always, thank you again for sharing this invaluable content
Amazing! Really enjoying these, thank you
" Luxuriating in the pleasure of text " sounds really luxurious. 👍🏻
His explanation of Nietzsche was an insightful look into the future we are experiencing today. Moral relativism and chaotic politics
I will not lie; sometimes, I have to re-watch some parts because of how deep it can get

hahahahahahhaa
Omg where are the rest of the videos? They are the best! You have the best dad
In a time of such division, it’s nice to look back. He gently hit on topics I was trivial over with a new insight I wasn’t expecting.
blimey, what a conclusion - a very interesting take on post-modernism
" Distracted from distraction by distraction - TS Eliot " Coming across for the third time Prof Sugrue mentioning this in his lectures.

When one stop to think that Dostoevsky predicted post-modernism on The Possessed (1872), one can really start to comprehend his geniuses.
Absolutely right.
