What a beautiful time to be alive when so much high end knowledge is freely available to anyone who wants it

[carlswenson]

no notes, no slides, no b.s.
Dr. Sugrue, you are one of the most talented orators of our time. Mega cap doff to you sir.

This is not rehearsed- this is pure knowledge and understanding of the topic. In awe!

One of the best lectures yet. It cannot be overstated how important Kant's conception of the Categorical Imperative was towards shaping the world of Ethical Philosophy post-Enlightenment.

This 45 mins lecture simply reveals 1) how deep and clear knowledge and understanding Dr. Sugrue has on Kant’s philosophy 2) how a talented lecturer Dr. Sugrue is. I am in awe of Dr. Sugrue’s ability to understand complexes and convey it with clarity and cheerfully. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful lecture with the best quality of audio and video.

Wth what a passionate educator, I wish I saw this 30 years ago. Fantastic delivery really makes the subject come alive. So rare to find this quality of delivery and conciseness. A gem

It’s amazing how Prof. Sugrue can take a subject like the Kantiean view of ethics and break it down in a way anyone can understand. Like Einstein once said “If you can’t explain a subject to a six year old then you don’t understand the subject yourself.” I think Professor Sugrue could explain all of these lectures to a class of six year olds and they would completely understand it, sadly I’m still wrapping my mind around the lecture but I understand the importance of Kants view and why we need to apply it in every decision we make. Thank you once again for the lecture Professor.

Your ability to teach is unparalleled to any other teacher I’ve had. Absolutely brilliant. These lectures have had a profound impact on me in the past year.

[letsbox]

Amazing, it's incredible how he explains such complex ideas in 45min!

A profound lecture when Professor Sugrue does the impossible- he makes Kant easy to understand. My college philosophy teacher told me of his own Professor, back in the day, gave him two pages of Kant to read, and told him to highlight with a marker what he didn't understand. After reading the 2 pages, he told me only one sentence Did Not get highlighted. Now, I have seen frequently for a half year now, viewers praising Prof. Sugrue's lecture on Marcus Aurelius to the skies. Nothing wrong with that. But I have seen NO comment praising his lecture on Kant. This seems to me hypocritical, because Stoicism is premised on the concept of Virtue, and striving after it as a mean of self-respect. While this Kant lecture is the near- ultimate in logically defining the concept of Virtue. So why so few viewers?

Did a psychology exam and referenced Kant's moral philosophy. I wish I had seen this earlier. Such a great mind!

Prof. Sugrue --- I love your lectures. I really think that, in the world, there is everything, if we would and will go there. I look forward to returning to this, and listening.

Dr Sugrue, I want to thank you for uploading these lectures for us to watch for free. They are truly a gift and have impacted my life in such a positive way, so again thank you ❤️

[amanr]

For me this wonderful lecture shows two things 1) a command of the subject matter(no notes or prompts) 2) a genuine passion and love of philosophy. As someone like myself training as a Psychotherapist, I absolutely love all these lectures, they are deeply informative and encourage deeper engagement! Great work sir!

[maxspencer]

This man is just so articulated and a sort of genius in dismantling complex, dry, monotonous philosophy for someone who isn't expertise in the field . thanks sir

[markmendis]

I have been watching all the videos for the love of philosophy and this is music to my ears, please upload more of Dr Michaels work.

[samirhossain]
