I'm pumped for this lecture. We are all grateful for your uploads to KZfaq.

Thanks for all your lectures, Michael!

Just when I thought Dr Sugrue has exhausted all my amazement, I find this new post. Simply brilliant man.

With all gratitude to Micheal Sugrue Sir, I am an ESL. I am in recovery from drugs and alcohol. I have learned most of my English by just watching your videos. You have no idea how profoundly your work will change the world. I promise you will hear my gratitude someday in person

Best philosophy lecturer....ever I guess lol. Best I've seen

Every time this Guy talks about a thinker he mentions at least 3 or 4 of his books, he talks about them and the characters as a person who must have spend a considerable amount of time trying to approach to the utmost what the writer how he thought, to have done that kind of research on such a wide number of thinkers is remarkable and deserving of high respect 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Dust is the starting point of Honey and the end point of Tobacco. Honey is produced out of dust (polen from flowers), tobacco produces dust (ashes). In the context (structure) of dust, they are opposite.

I've watched this video for 3rd times and still enjoy every sentence of it. thank you for such illuminating work.

Please continue to upload these lectures as much as possible I love them

Thank you, Dr. Sugrue!

I love semiotics and structuralism and deconstruction and just tracing how one idea spurned on the next. Ultimately not a fan of most of where these 💡 have led politically today but like the evolution of thought. This lecture gives me an appreciation of the wider scope Saussure and his followers were aiming for. Parmenedian oneness or wholeness as I think he puts it.

Amazing! Levi-Strauss lecture was implied in one of your videos I watched last year and I regretted that it wasn't posted. Thanks for uploading!

I am extremely grateful for your uploads sir. I wish your recently recorded one had the same audio quality. You have introduced me to the Western philosophy like I am an 8 year old.

I have been devouring the content on this channel for the last couple of weeks since finding it and I’m just really glad that new material is being uploaded with such regularity. Thank you for these, they’re just excellent.

Crazy, I just started reading Myth and Meaning today. Thank you!!

Great as usual. The best thing with prof. Sugrue´s lectures is that he can connect different theories. It is impossiblw without great knowledge.

Thank you for these lectures!

I absolutely loved this lecture! Thank you!

Such a beautiful way of exploring the ideas of Levi-Strauss

This lecture is jam-packed!

please pass on my thanks to the good DR. He has got me through covid lock downs and contributed to my own teacing practice.

thanks for all these. keep posting them please!

This is a wonderfully lucid lecture - fantastic.

How great that I fall upon this lecture video on week before reading "Structural anthropology" by Lévi-Strauss.

This is so freaking amazing. Thank you for uploading it!!

i am grateful for this amazing series of lecture. simple, deep and well delivered!

Professor Sugrue - you are a gift to making philosophical ideas accesible to the enquiring public...

Literally was rewatching the Ayer lecture jajaja this is insane!!!

Thanks for all your lectures Sir

Amazing lecture!!❤

Thank you. Love these.

Sugrue is a treasure. Do not let anything happen to this man.

Fantastic lecture.

Any chance of a lecture on the political thought of Leo Strauss? I doubt he'd be in this series but perhaps you have something somewhere or you could perhaps give some of your thoughts in a livestream one day.

You are a fantastic professor.

This is amazing. I wish I had such courses at the bachelor level.

Just a note: de Saussure didn't write the Cours; it was compiled from student notes on his lectures.

I love all of the intro music, I cant help but whistle it

Amazing!

Her: Come over! My parents aren't home! Me: I can't come over for sex, I'm too busy! Her: New Sugrue lecture just dropped! Me: 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚗🚕🚓

Thanks!

My dumbass was waiting for Jeans to come into the discussion for the first 5 minutes.

Thank You!

Classic lectures live aaaaawwww yeaaahh

Babe wake up, Michael Sugrue just posted

Thank you 😊

Brilliant!

Good lecture

These classes are wonderful. If you don't mind me asking, can we expect something about homo ludens to come up at some point?

Yes sir just what we wanted

Amazing

The life is complete now. Only professor Michael sugrue's lecture on Molière is missing

19:49 everyone: a dog is an animal Levi-Strauss: a dog is a noun

33 to 34 which language is the better language? Aesthetically, we could agree that some are more pleasant to the ear than others.

I could say so much more on this subject but I think I'll listen to your lecture on Gadamer first.

If I remember correctly, as per Marvin Harris, the fx. Of the proscription of cow slaughter in India was the use of poop for fuel,fertilizer, cleaning and antiseptic (believe it or not).

thanks

My question for the structural anthropologists is, what is the value of discovering these substeuctural details if we cannot reach the final ultimate structure which ties them all togeather. Without this final piece, what is the point?

Let’s gooooo yeah!!!

Ty Mike!

Fantastic lecture, thank you. What was the recommended Piaget book?

India, although containing multiple cultures within it, all the individual subcultures are heavily dependent on milk produce, and the ox was also used for agriculutre. However eating the cow can solve immediate food shortages, but keeping the cow and ox alive can sustain a family for a longer time. So, the functionalist arguement can make some sense? Thoughts?

Can we get a lecture on Ferdinand de Saussure?

Yooo I'm gonna get fuckin loaded next weekend and dive into this. Bout to hit up the boys

The sound is not in-sync with the video.

This was only posted 5hrs ago. I'm giggling. 👍👍👍

I recommend you all to read Dosse's History of Structuralism volume I & II

i was anticipating a lecture about blue jeans

​there seems to be an issue with the audio sync

When did this lecture happen?

Professor Sugrues passing is a tragedy. I feel now that the world has become a lesser place.

the guy is a beast ...

What's that phrase he uses at around 2:50? Sounds like orshstuff and comes up on captions as ursh stuff but I've googled it and nothing is coming up

15:05 Yes, but I would like to add positivism to the empirical.

Did you ever talk about Carl Jung? I would love to hear your thoughts.

“Honey, a new Sugrue lecture just dropped”

Chocolate and Jelly Sandwiches!!! Love it man!!! 😁

I’m listening to this one a second time.

Dugin introduced me to Levi Strauss

I want to go into a little bit more detail why I think Strauss created pseudoscience: imagine a "structuralist" mineralogist. He looks around (like a functionalist) and constructs a minimal table of what possible minerals there could be: sand, granite, boxite clay. Obviously all minerals can only be permutations of these three. Malinowski goes to Trobriand Islands and discovers gneiss. Or better yet, volcanic sulfur. Well, structuralist is unphased: sulfur is just sand, but with some quality of clay and firm almost like granite. Just like psychoanalysis, structuralism is not "incorrect", it's simply can never be wrong. There is no procedure that could ever prove something untrue within structuralism.

What is that word the professor uses “orschtuff” I can’t find anything on Google spelling it that way.

My loveeeee

Good 🎉🎉🎉

❤️

Makes me think I may not know the grammar of my culture, or perhaps the grammar is breaking down and no longer exists

Man I feel for his students back then, trying to concentrate on the lecture rather than the man himself, I'd be too distracted by inappropriate thoughts 😍

He’s talking faster today!

2:58, Sounds like category theory to me., "connect these structures, structurally one might imagine, to find a larger structure. This large structure of structures will be the structure of human existence itself in a sort of logical algebraic form". Pretty close!

14:35 he says " we move from the city to the man ", i guess. But should not it be the other way round meaning from the man to the city.

Aw, I thought it was about Leo Strauss! I’d like to hesr the professor on him.

what's the word @2:52 ??

Drink when Sugrue says "procrustean".

So cows can't be eaten in India. I understand it's for religus reasons but is power and fear a factor to? Did a person in a position of power decide this for whatever reason?

O.k. beginner here but this sounds like Plato except that Plato had a healthy disrespect for writing. What I know so far is that there are two great schools of philosophy - materialism and idealism. Structuralism is idealist, yes? So why did people retreat from science to quasi religious idealism?

The internet has destroyed looking for the code

STRUCTURE!!

I once heard that all of Western Philosophy is merely the dialogue between Plato and Aristotle with Nietzsche trying to interrupt the conversation -- everything else is merely footnotes. After listening to all these lectures, its hard not to believe that line is the only universally true statement in philosophy.

Can you please start selling Dr Sugrue Bobbleheads? I’d buy 3.
