Thank you Dr. Michael Sugrue and Dr. Darren Staloff. Your lectures have inspired so many people to pursue knowledge and learn how to think. I've been in search for a direction to learn more philosophy and history from books and lectures worth studying. The two of you have provided such important knowledge to help navigate life more meaningfully, free of charge, by posting your lectures on Youtube, and although you don't know me, I simply wanted to express my deepest appreciation.

These professors are a dying breed, we will not see such great orators, with such deep analysis and certain proclamations on philosophy. The lectures are a treasure.

I have been reading beyond good and evil for at least a few years. What I mean is I’ve been contemplating page 1 for a few years. Finally on my bed the other day the will to truth hit me right between the eyes. I suddenly grasped what he was saying. Now onto page two, see you in a few years.

Shocking how relevant this book & lecture are in 2022, thank you for uploading!

It's been 30 years of study and I still can't spell Nietszche without double checking.

[enlightenedanalysis]

This was a very useful and informative lecture. One of the best. Thank you for sharing this.

[markustanbeck]

Fantastic, well paced and I learned many new things. I deeply appreciate the upload !

Such a brilliant lecture, thanks so much. Of all the Nietzsche I've read that essay stuck with me more than anything. I think of him every time I see a cow 'fettered to the moment' . If N were here I'm sure he would encourage us to limit our time on this ultra-horizon-expander that is the INTERNET

Great lecture. The romans didn't know the translation of the Greek word Logos, so they went with Ratio et Oratio, or Reason and Speech. You have both.
Nietzsche saw an eternal recurrence of endless cycles of very strange attractors.
Then Trostky translated it in Permanent Revolution, like now, when thanks to the electric circuitry, we can have One Thousand & One Nights every hour, every day, every night.

Another great talk delivered. Thank you Dr. Sugrue and Dr. Staloff. I wonder if there is a lecture regarding Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense? I feel that this another short essay contain a lot of wisdom, only if it to be explicated rightly. My reading of it just couldn't be as insightful as I imagine yours would, ten times fold...

Three cheers for Nietzsche Tuesday! 🙌🎉

Dr. Darren Staloff and Professor Sugre have both given me an opportunity to learn more about philosophy. Especially, Professor Sugre lectures also on novels of literature. Exposure to that began as a young child. This one I have watched before as all others. Both men have added to my appreciation of great thinkers of centuries, and I want eternally grateful for all the knowledge they introduced on all videos.
Nietzsche, I love, as I have said before, I find humor in him with all he has written. Furthermore, I will not comment on why. Possibly, it has been because someone has bullied me here in the comment section. Although I don't allow such trivial immaturity effect me personally. Lol
Thank you again with much affection and respect. Happy holidays🌲☃️🌲 to your families and friends.

Dr Staloff, brilliant lectures aside, always stylish.

Without history, its very tough to understand an ancient thinker

[gspurlock]

The colonies paid taxes requested by the King, to whom they were loyal. They did not have any representation in Parliament and therefor felt it wrong for Parliament to impose taxes on them. That was the problem, not the existence of taxes. Prior to Parliament's trying to impose taxes on the colonies, the King would tell the Governors of each colony how much taxation was needed from them. Then, local governments would work out how to raise the taxes among themselves.

He's no Sugrue, but he's second best!

[CatnamedMittens]

I think the book listed in the description is the wrong edition. It's the one translated by Peter Preuss that he uses.

As a secular bible historian, i am not atheist or illusioned. Ive rationalized the value of the spirit of the faith and how powerful it is in its dominance of human spirit.

Add a secondary audio track at a reduced volume. This is difficult to hear. Thanks.
