Dr. Sugrue, for about 10 years I have been teaching myself literature and philosophy through primary texts and online lectures / podcasts, and your series is by far the best I've come across. Thanks so much.

Getting my masters in legal history at the moment and I was just yesterday wishing for another video from Dr. Sugrue on Aquinas! You have a world of students touched by your knowledge. Thanks for everything, professor.
I’ve listened and followed you since 2006. I’m deeply indebted to your massive knowledge and magisterial education. God bless you and thank you so much, Professor.
EVERY time I re-watch these videos, I'm enlightened more than the previous times! Sugrue is a remarkable communicator that neither dumbs down nor becomes haughty. A truly phenomenal mind.
I grew up watching your lectures, Professor. Your teachings have greatly enriched my life, and have made me a better man. Some of the only videos on the internet I am excited to see. Thank you.
Many thanks and love from Germany. Your lecture on Marcus Aurelius changed my life. I love Aquinas and can't wait to watch this! You're a great man, may God bless you and your loved ones.
I've watched all his videos. This man is the most pleasant person to listen to and the way he tells a story about our ancient masters is just magical. I would love for him to do a complete overview of all philosophers or even write his own history of philosophy. I would even donate to help to start a project like that.
Dr. Sugrue offers the key to open our minds to the plethora of ideas written by brilliant thinkers over thousands of years. In a sense it is the evolution of morality and hopefully sheds light on understanding our own life experiences.
Dear Dr Sugrue, thank you so very much for your wonderful lectures. I’m a loyal follower and will remain such, but methinks you should let the dog in. Its sorrowful crying would break any heart, no matter how analytical or philosophic. Many thanks Dr Sugrue for everything!
Deep gratitude for your commitment to teaching about the Western intellectual tradition. Very admirable your helping others. Wish that you could find a spot on the AM radio dial instead of the barking ideologues that now inhabit that media space.
Thanks for your insights on Aquinas. The perfect universal hierarchy and his schedules of virtue. His breadth of knowledge is remarkable. Please consider cleaning the lens on your video camera.
In all these lectures, from the 90's to today, I have finally figured out one of the reasons that makes Sugrue so brilliant. He distills, brilliantly, the real meaning of what we have read or are reading.
As far as I'm concerned, you have attained Thomas Sowell status in that you must be protected and are not allowed to die. Thank you for all of your amazing work.
Thank you Dr. Sugrue! I recommend to anyone interested in Saint Thomas Aquinas to find an SSPX chapel near you. The priests of the Society of St. Pius X are given the greatest formation you can find nowadays that is almost entirely rooted in Thomistic thought. If you are interested in experiencing the Mass that Saint Thomas celebrated every day of his priesthood, the Society offers the traditional Latin Mass which is identical to the Mass said by every priest since the time of St. Gregory the Great. God bless!
Thank you so much! I havve purchased the Suma Theologica but have not yet had time to read it. Your lecture will make it much easier for me to understand as I'm retiring soon and will have time to read it. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your lectures on philosophy, but won't read most of the works. But Aquinas has always intrigued me and I suspect that reading his work will be a great adventure and very enlightening.
Thanks for your memory, intellect and knowledge that you spread freely. I'm not a philosophy student and I enjoy learning from you while I don't have to. Recently I felt the urge to review your video's on Plato's Republic and I've gone insane. I can't stop comparing the Islamic Republic of Iran with Platonic Republic. I think what Plato was seeking as you said by connecting the moral and political law can go terribly wrong. What an unjust man can do by misusing his idea is horrifying. And your recent video's are relatable to the current situation of my country, Iran. My people are fighting a just war against the brutal philosophical dogs educated by the unjust philosopher king of this regime and the war is going on. The evil philosopher king that has legalized the breaking natural moral law in the country recently. It means allowing his philosophical dogs to kill the Innocent young people mostly women. it's always a relieve listening to your wise speech and this time made me wish for having an actual international criminal court to put these tyrants on trial.
14:39 You speak of Aquinas’s beatific vision of ascension to heaven, and your dog howls with agreement! Hallelujah! How perfect! But i think that dog has some separation anxiety 😟 I am hoping someday soon you will connect Aquinas et Al to the current philosophical meltdown of the USA and others in light of the recent popularity of Authoritarianism and the ostensible failures of democratic institutions.
29:00 "The Romans were a predatory, military empire." Agreed! Seems that the USA inherited their DNA. We have enjoyed global hegemony since 1945. Seems we've been "in the war business" since then. Would you agree?
"Guide to the Perplexed " by Rabbi Moses Maimonides (mentioned by Professor Sugrue) is a book filled with wisdom written by a very wise theologian, philosopher and all-around scholar. What I really need, though, is for someone to write a book titled, "Guide for the Perpetually Perplexed" - the type of book that provides answers to important but overlooked questions such as, "Should a jar of ketchup be refrigerated during very hot weather?"
Dr. Sugrue, I know you’ve talked at length about various theological and philosophical concepts within the Church, but have you ever considered covering the works of Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI (primarily his Introduction to Christianity and other works he published prior to and after becoming Pope). It would be very interesting to hear your takes on his thought.
Hi professor, I discovered your channel when I came across your Marcus Aurelius video, and I got so interested that I binge watched your other videos as well. I can say that I am learning a lot of new and very interesting things and I am grateful to you for sharing your profound knowledge through these very insightful videos. PS. The Marcus Aurelius video got me interested in Philosophy and I hope you could make more videos about him, and if possible about Jung, Freud, Kant, and Machiavelli as well.
U are one of best professor ever
Amen
Thank You Come Again 😂
U R so right.
Dr Sugrue what a man, taught so much to so many

Thank you for annotating
I always appreciate it when people do this 😊.
Good work
Thanks
Really gained a deeper and more subtle body of humanity from this lecture, my compliments, Mr Sugrue.
"he's batting clean up, for the entire middle ages"....
Nobody can do it like Professor Sugrue.
One of the greatest teachers to ever live

Hi Dr. Sugrue. I hope you - and Queenie - made it through Ian without too much disruption to your lives. Thank you for these lectures!

Thank you again professor. You never fail to capture people’s interest ❤️
Brilliant and delightful. I thoroughly enjoy your lectures. You are so positive.

I was really waiting on this! Professor Sugrue, you are a wonderful gift to the world! Thank you again!
people like you gifting knowledge like this make the world immeasurably better. thanks for these Ukrainian benefit lectures, Dr. Sugrue.
Ayyy, big fan! :D I often end up waking up to you talking about space lol
Thank you! I love your lectures, those from 30 years ago as much as those of today.
How does he speak with such depth and articulation, while a puppy is whining in the background? That's mastery of the material!
Most valuable channel ever!
Thank you professor Sugrue. Your videos help me very much I'm a teacher here in the Philippines.
I've watched all his videos. This man is the most pleasant person to listen to and the way he tells a story about our ancient masters is just magical.

You are a gift to humanity. Thank you, Professor.
Loving these new lectures!! Thank you so much
Thanks!
I like the way you present complex ideas. There’s more than a bit of genius here for synthesis and teaching.
Thank you so much for coming back and giving us access to your mind! Im so very grateful for the gift, sir
Thank you for all these free lectures!

If I search a subject and dr sugrue is in the results I always go to him first. Truly a special man
Mr. Surgue, I don’t have words enough to describe how much your work has been a blessing. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I enjoy learning with you.
we love you professor! thank you. for everything.

so happy to see these uploaded! I've been listening to you since 2009! cheers!
I was just about to write an essay about Aquinas. Thanks for teaching, Professor.
Aquinas is my patron saint, so this is excellent!
God bless you, Doctor Sugrue.
I'm so happy to have found this channel in 2020, massively entertaining and interesting. thank you.
Yes! More lectures!

It’s a cultural desert out there, and Sugrue is where I visit to quench my thirst for decency, ethics, culture and humanity.
Dear professor, thank you for your lectures, warm greetings from Armenia.
Outstanding!!! Thank you very much for sharing! Salam
You are Brilliant... Love listening to you
hearing you say darling was very wholesome. Very nice to see you have a nice life with a wife (or daughter).
Brilliant and thought provoking as always, thank you so much! Please continue!
Thank you ❤ it is a privilege and an honor to learn from you.
Love you good people, thanks for everything.
Such a breathtaking scope. Thank you again. Your videos are books that we can’t put down.
Nectar to the ears and mind
Love your work. Keep going.
Bless you professor. No nonsense. Straight to it. Thank you. ❤
Thanks for the lectures, thoroughly enjoy them all! Legend
Great to see you are back! Loved all your early talks on the Teaching Co.
That dog in the background deserves most praise
I really appreciate all of these videos
THANK YOU. GRATITUDE & RESPECT
Lovely talk. Thank you

Read the book by Al-Farabi "On the Perfect State", which is a synthesis of Islam and Plato's Republic. It will give you much to think about.
@@dr.michaelsugrue Thanks. I'm going to read this for sure.
It is a brilliant piece of work.
Professor you should also read Averroes commentary on Plato republic
It’s a phenomenal read
Best professor ever - and sorry for this minor detail but please remember European discovery of America was by the Vikings.
From Viking descendant Jim
Great teathrr. Machallah thank you very much

Tanks professor, your lectures are incredible!
Great discussion. Could listen all day. 🙌🏼
Thanks Michael.
Awesome Doc!
Socrates of our time... Live long Professor Sugrue
Thank you for making the complex, understandable.
You're a legend. Love the new camera angle👍
Thank you to the family of Dr. Sugrue for helping to record these videos 🙂

0:28 introduction reminds me of your 90s lecture videos 😃
Pakkend. Ik was van zins maar een paar minuten te kijken maar heb hem uiteindelijk uitgekeken.
He started lecturing at a young age. He's been a good public speaker. 👏
There he is 👋🙂
The man, the legend.. 😃
The man himself.
Thank you for this lecture.
Thank you for enriching my mind
Dr. Sugrue, I know you’ve talked at length about various theological and philosophical concepts within the Church, but have you ever considered covering the works of Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI (primarily his Introduction to Christianity and other works he published prior to and after becoming Pope). It would be very interesting to hear your takes on his thought.

PS. The Marcus Aurelius video got me interested in Philosophy and I hope you could make more videos about him, and if possible about Jung, Freud, Kant, and Machiavelli as well.
He does have videos on Kant and Machiavelli for sure since I've watched them myself
His lecture on Kant is great, and he has two lectures on Machiavelli
