Thanks to Prof Wolff, and everyone involved in putting up this video. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to see these.

Wolff is the best!

I was delighted to see this pop up when searching for Freud lectures. The series on Kant was brilliant.

Dear Professor Wolff, you and people like you such as Chomsky live forever. I’m watching your videos (Kant, game theory, Marx, and now Freud, here in Hong Kong in the summer of 2021. Trump is gone, and I, not exactly a leftist, am telling everybody I can get hold of to watch your videos. I do not see eye to eye with everything you say, but there’s not the slightest doubt in my mind that you are a great lecturer, an excellent speaker, a wonderful human being, and a superb story teller. The world is a better place because of you.

Thank you for all these lectures. The ones about Kant's Critique were great! I'm listening to them for the second time. And I'm excited for these lectures about Freud and looking forward to your lectures about Marx. I really appreciate it :)

Love this, what a salt of the earth!

Brilliant lecture. Thank you. Looking forward to the remaining three.

i'm as taken by the elegant simplicity of the structure of this introduction as i am by your personal anecdotes and way of being. thank you, dr. wolff! i hope you keep putting more lectures out there, this series is very useful

I have had in no way, any interest in this sort of knowledge or any history in it for that matter, but this was insanely fascinating to watch and I enjoy the way you provide lectures. I will be in your next one regarding this topic when you post it. Thanks!

very personable speaker --- which is a good thing considering how knowledgable he is

This is the first time I listen to Lecture on Freud! Very fascinating! Many thanks, Professor!

wonderful lecture. thank you so much

I also teach Freud in my Literary Theory classes. This lecture is stimulating.

this is so good.

Thanks, professor from Brazil !!

Thank you Mr Wolff for these highly engaging lectures on Freud Kan]t and Marx So enlightening.

Please lecture on Kierkegaard and Nietzsche

I finish lecture 1. Like him , I interest Freud because the Frankfurt school. But I dont see a solid justificaton of psychoanalisis as a method of studying the mind and its disorders. I rather believe the actual skepticim of S. F. and psychoanalysis as Popper and M. Bunge had warned.

"Incipient fascist" - great description.

"My name is Robert Paul Wolff and this is the first of fourth lectures on a fraud of Zigmund Freud". Please excuse me of my remark. I found lectures of Mr. Wolff very interesting and inspiring. Can't wait for his lectures on Marx.

He has presence, is 83. But it's hard to pull off the statement 'I'm a philosopher', even when the full statement is 'I'm not a medical doctor, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm a philosopher..'

Hello Mr Wolff, I would love to see you in a debate with Dr. Jordan B Peterson, who I think has quite opposing views than yours. I feel like in the current times there aren't too many authentic left-wing thinkers who could hold their ground in a debate, but if you feel like your views are true and authentic, and you could explain them in a reasonable manner, I would love to see two great minds fight it out for truth.

I came here to learn how to better teach Freud to my students. I learned a lot, but I wish that he didn't start out with his political beliefs and that he didn't discount civilization and its discontents. I think this guy is a very slow lecturer and spends too much time talking about random crap without making a point.

so many useless anecdotes, you’ll get a better experience in the Wikipedia article

meh I liked your lectures more when you didn't try to push your political agenda down everyone's throat. At the time of the Kant lectures, when the election was still ongoing, you expressed your political views too but imo in a less forceful and more neutral way. Everyone is entitled to a political opinion but presenting it as some kind of truth without any facts to back it up make you come of as another sociology professor who is trying to push a political agenda. also since you don't seem to know what an ad hominem is here is a link that explains it so you don't have to make the mistake next time when talking about people you personally don't like: yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem
