No notes, no pauses, no equivocation, no tangents, making extremely complex ideas comprehensible for everyone. Amazing job. I wish I'd had a philosophy teacher like this.

[drelvin]

Perhaps the most talented lecturer on philosophy I’ve ever witnessed

[haimbenavraham]

The guy is a natural genius, who has distilled complex thought down to, or up to general comprehension.

"There's gonna be a whole new generation of philosophers that want to get tenure that are going to have to get rid of this earlier generation and *really* turn the corner and have a new, totally changed end of history. It could be that we'll never get beyond Hegel in this respect, though we all feel the need to create a novelty that is spurious but entertaining. And that is our homage to Hegel I would say."

Golden.

He really explains it in down to earth every day language, I can’t even believe his lecture is over, it went by so quick, I can listen to him all day

I recently feel so depressed with my work, then I come back to the lectures of Prof. Sugrue, everything is so beautiful.

We are getting an Ivy league philosophy class for free. Incredible

[gruber]

Rest in peace professor Sugrue. We miss you dearly. You have indeed left a big. shady tree for all of us.

[nathangriffiths]

PLEASE do some new lectures, your knowlage is astounding and id love for more people around the world to experience it!

[jongopok]

Thank you so much Mr Sugrue. Your lectures are expertly delivered, I find them fascinating. I don't think you are aware just how grateful we all are for these absolute gems. These lessons are keeping me going right now as we trudge through this draining covid purgatory. If there was a syllabus I could follow, I would love to study these courses in the correct order. If you ever launch a new online course I would sign up immediately.

Thanks once again.

Whats great about Dr. Sugrue's interpretation of philosophy and ideas is that he ties it to the poetic, the lyrical, the artistic and the spiritual aspects of human experience. The four pillars of culture- art, philosophy, religion and science- are intimately intertwined like a thread running through Western thought.

[LucBoeren]

God-tier Hegel explanatory, well done sir

[albertoiberbuden]

What a fantastic human being. He will be missed by all of us who found beauty and comfort in his lectures.

I’m new to Sugrue and his lectures and very much enjoying his approach.
Kierkegaard supposed that we are faced with a life choice of either an aesthetic or ethical life.
When I was a young man(more than 50 years ago) I considered my life’s path and the 2 choices discussed went, rather crudely, through my mind. I did come to a conclusion that satisfied both my aesthetic and ethical ideals.
I took up the path of a gardener, specifically
Japanese gardens.
With a more than thousand year history guided by the egalitarian traditions of both Shinto and Buddhist disciplines.
There was also the added benefit of a physically rigorous effort to execute the practice and principles of an ecologically and ethically correct path.
A good life, indeed, resulted.
