Please consider subscribing to be notified of future videos, as we upload Dr. Sugrue's vast archive of lectures.
Dr. Michael Sugrue earned his BA at the University of Chicago and PhD at Columbia University.
In 2003 I checked some philosophy lectures ON CASETTE TAPE out of the library and listened to them in my shitty minivan. Almost two decades pass, and now the man is uploading new content weekly. This is a dream come true.
Thank you, Doctor Sugrue. You changed my life.
That’s such a cool full circle story, you’re clearly a lover of wisdom. Much respect my friend!!
Dr. Sugrue, your lectures are constantly playing as I work. I studied many of the texts at the University of Kentucky. However, your insights; and the concise summary you provide, have enabled me to reevaluate my conclusions after many years of life experience. The lectures that you provide have allowed me to access these great works during my daily routine. Even though I'd rather read, there aren't enough hours in the day. Your lectures provide a steady source of wholesome content that is a true rarity. Your knowledge represents what the internet should be.
Who in this world is so generous to share so marvelous content with the world for free???
Thank you so much, dr Sugrue! 🙏🙏🙏
What you put in your mind is what you will become. Put shitty gas in a car, the engine knocks. Put worthless thoughts in your mind, you will feel worthless. These lectures are priceless and are a true gift. The fact that it free just proves "the best things in life are free"
@@ApostateApostrophe42276 this channel has a wealth of information expressed lucidly!

Thank you also !!!!❤️
Students would be so lucky to have a professor like Dr. Sugrue.
I consider him one of my teachers.
But I couldn't agree more
Now he is our professor too, online.
@@magnusnotcarlsen3241 True! I'm lucky.

Hi Dr. Sugrue, long time listener, first time caller. I've recently begun to read and research the writings of Transcendentalism.
If any, do you have any favorites?
Coincidently I am reading Locke now for my Uni, and before that I had Gorgias and also got your video right on time. I hope you know how much joy and support you bring to all the philosophy adepts around the world. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland. Kudos to Genevieve too.
If you ever have the time, I would greatly appreciate a lecture on Rousseau.
I have been grappling with these big texts and philosophical figures for almost 5 years. In our university they just handover degrees with no basic training how to read these texts and thinkers. Thanks to professor sugrue for his eloquent and simple lectures that have been of immense help to clear my confusions and made to delve deep into philopshy easy task.
I am deeply grateful to you prof.
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of Sugrueness"
YES!
Thanks Michael Sugrue. Your wisdom is a gift, a treasure for us all.
This is my third time listening to this lecture. I did not leave a comment 3 weeks ago. Ben Franklin once stated, " Lighthouses are better than churches, good ole Ben.
We all thank you, Professor Sugre .
Happy New Year 2023.❤️🌟
You, Michael, have had an enormous impact of me as a thinker. Your lessons, both new and old, have been a treasure. I'm glad of the spike of subscribers and wish you all the best! /Martin, from Sweden.
Dr. Sugrue, why do you think South Carolina lead the south to wanting to leave the union more so than any of the other states. Honest question.
Hey your self evident parenthetical wisdom should be your next "short." It was great 👍
So true!
A man of true Wisdom, THANK you Sir ❤️
@Surgue what is your actual philosophy? I don't mean in the sense of Plato or Hegel as a school of thought. I mean what do you yourself hold to be your philosophy?
Rest in Peace!
I studied at UNLV and YOU are the best professor I have ever encountered with regards to this stuff!
Professor Sugrue: "Things that are not laborious to obtain, like air example, those have a very low cost. Nobody has ever charged anybody else for air."
Governments and corporations: Hold my organic craft beer
Thank You sir for sharing so much wisdom, knowledge, and insight with us. By the way sir: in my youth I read Crime and Punishment twice, but through your magnificent lecture at the age of 70+ I now have filled in many of my blanks and corrected some misunderstandings about the final chapter. Thank You Sir again.
Please sir do analysis of GUY DEBORD

OF THE SPECTACLE)
No one massages my brain like you sir!!! 🙏🙏

Thank you for doing these videos.
Dr. Sugrue when will you publish your commentaries on South Park? You have an incredible mind thank you for sharing your genius!
Mr.surgu ,if you know how much love and respect i have to you.
Thank you very much for all of your videos. Would you consider doing a lecture on Plotinus?
Question: would not self evident be close to intuitive? In John Lock's essay on human understanding he states that are degrees of knowledge and one of them is intuition. This degree of knowledge does not need any proof or demonstration for there is agreement of disagreement without the intervention of another idea. Certainty, clearness, and light comes to us immediately.
"sometimes the mind perceives the agreement or disagreement of two ideas immediately by themselves, without the intervention of any other: and this I think we may call intuitive knowledge" John Locke
Professor Sugrue is saying THE WORD!
defoe introducing the labour theory of value in the form of crusoe's ledger is absolutely fascinating
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom so eloquently with us.
Thank you. I would like to hear more about Locke. From some other lectures, it is my understanding that Rousseau was also a great influence on Marx, in addition to Hegel. This left me with a rather sour attitude toward Rousseau, but it's only from one source. I'd love to hear more about this if possible.
Thank you for John Locke. Would you consider a lecture about Max Stirner, the post-hegelian philosopher?
Its so good to see you are still at it. You're a legend round these parts!
Dr. Sugrue persuades and enlightens me in his delivery and subject objectivity. NO ONE is close to this good at lectures.
God bless you Sir, thank you!
I love u professor !! I feel a tremendous ecstasy when I watch your classes and lectures... One of your admirers and well wishers from Pakistan ....
A gifted and illuminating teacher. Superlatives would not suffice. Thank you Michael. Subscribed! ❤
Hobbes has won the battle but not the war…. Fight on!
Thank you. Please more on Dostoevsky.
Yours is a public service, and we are all wealthier of soul for it.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free. I had been craving lectures on the subjects you cover for so long. I am very grateful.
Better than other broad brush sweeps of Lockean theory+application that I've found. Good balance of principles+historical application. But I'm sorry to say that philisophy only makes me the anti philosopher philosopher because when man attempts to make science of humans+societies beyond primary principles, he dooms himself to injustice+tyranny+failure. Humans+their societies are not digital constructs, and neither are words/laws. And power over men is doomed to ultimately fatal behaviours. The fundamental premises of Locke have validity, but when he shifts to govt powers/authority, he fails. Govt needs to be limited to an advisory capacity, while being self sustaining and empowered over property in common, such as waterways, right of ways/highways, etc. And people need to accept the consequences of being people. Imperfect, but better than all other man made constructs. The community of free men engaging with those that benefit them is probably the best governance men can expect. None at all.
Thank you Michael, hope you are well today 🙂
Hopefully some UK Trade Unions Congress people will meander here to learn more about today's world, and Frances world...
I am not understanding how gold+silver equates to inequality of wealth as long as fundamental principles apply. They are stores of labor and measures of goods. They don't create inequality, they are inert. Gross leap in logic.
Can someone illuminate to me why Franklin's words is a suggestion to Euclid (self-evident)? on 15:15
Very helpful thank you, you're really great!
Seriously, thank you for your enthusiasm about these ideas and their origins, and sharing them with the public. The way you breakdown difficult philosophical subjects into easily intelligible summaries has helped me to examine and question my own thoughts and beliefs and begin to move towards a better understanding of myself, others, and the world at large. While it certainly wasn’t my focus in college, I did take a few philosophy courses and while I did have one professor who seemed to share your love of introducing people to new and challenging concepts, none had your ability to take complex ideas and present them accessibly, with historical context and relevant commentary in such a concise manner. Once again, thank you.
@DrMichaelSugrue do you have any content on your own religious beliefs?
I don't agree with the final conclusion, the people fought and there was a conclusion -that's very Lockeian to me
Would you please explain grotesque in the 19th and 20th century 😢
I so so deeply appreciate him and how willing he is to share!
given facts like the history of Haiti, it's a bit much to credit the French with establishing a notion of the Rights of Man as something which extends beyond the citizenry of a nation. in practice, France has never really demonstrated an ability or desire to sincerely recognize the rights of non-French.
to further say that the American sensibility is the inverse, and local, rather than universal, is also strange, given how much more willing the US is to attempt to intervene in human rights abuses than France is.
and this of course is not to say that either is an angel or a demon, both states have certainly done some fine things for the larger global community, as well as harmed it. it's merely to point out that this characterization does not stand up to scrutiny against actual data.
Thanks

Comment.
The similarities between the good Doctor’s voice and that of Al Pacino is uncanny.
Thanks
Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of this content. I use your videos to help me to digest the works of these philosophers.
How do we determine what’s correct and what’s incorrect? What are the basic measurements for doing so? And how to limit freedom and rights?

Oh boy its lecture time!

Great , thanks
I really love your existence professor

Dr. Sugrue,
Would you be open to discussing the relationship between psychological therapy and philosophy. We have all witnessed a rise in therapy-speak, and all of society seems to be accepting of these terms without questioning underlying assumptions. Surely, the increased discussion of mental health is a positive development, but I worry about people using concepts such as "trauma", "boundaries", "self-care", etc without questioning some of the non-scientific foundations.
I want to voice my misgivings with friends and family members, but I find that I do not have the requisite knowledge / understanding to articulate my views.
Thanks again, Mike.
Leviathan will inevitably be en vogue.
I would disagree with the glorious revolution being bloodless. It was bloodless in London but thousands died especially in Scotland and Ireland. This view that London = UK is still advocated today sadly.
I had only seen the older videos, which are brilliant. The newer stuff is amazing!
What we need right now is more thoughtful, reasonable thinking like Sugrue.
Watched all of it 38:10
I prefer the former lectures. it seems that as time has passed, sugrue's framework has changed to include the tendencies of more contemporary academics that I dislike. I will still listen, but so far nothing compares to the charms of the former sugrue.
Thank you, professor
Please do one on Spangler
Important lecture!
How extraordinarily lucky am I to be able to now watch these with my son who is now old enough to soak it all in. Thank you so, so much Professor ❤ So important.
Love these videos.
18:00
Come on Michael, Locke would want you to get a new camera for videos
I got charged 75¢ for air just the other day.
Thanks again professor, thanks again.
This is wonderful.
If we end up with " New world order" kind of world wondering, will they allow us to practice second armament?
ps. Since one may have much peaceful society like Singapore or Japan where gun is mostly banned compared to USA.
I don't remember De Foe being a proponent of the labour theory of value in Robinson Crusoe. Part 2 seems to blow that interpretation out of the water. If he was he was certainly one very confused man. And we're talking Orwellian levels of cognitive dissonance here. It's been a long time since I read it though. He certainly did have a few funny ideas here and there.
