I would listen to this guy go through the whole history of western philosophy.

For someone that’s too tired, he has a lot of energy

Thank you so much Kotti Everdine, Professor Geuss, and Cambridge University. What an absolutely amazing opportunity to attend this lecture series from one of the top sources in the world. I learned so much and already see how my perspectives have broadened from just this 7-part series. I am extremely grateful to you all for making this content available and giving me a taste of Cambridge University.

These lecture series are so enriching. Thank you.

I've got kicked early from school because of some serious ADD problems.. But thanks to guys like Kotti Everdene i just can enjoy some cool lectures about Nietzsche!! Awesomeeeee thanks.

I love how this guy is super proud of his command of German (and the occasional French word as well)

MOST of Nietzsche’s books are VERY readable. People seem afraid of a string of difficult aphorisms; those are for the most part confined to Will To Power, which was more or less the work of his sister after he died. There is great enjoyment waiting for you in those books.

Thank you, Prof. Geuss and the channel organizer. The history of the interrelation between human mentality, morality, and religion unfolds in Nietzsche's untimely works. This inspiring video helps for the detailed and elaborate historical background of the eras before and after Nietzsche.

Best lecture series of Nietzsche on KZfaq

These kind of things is the best thing about youtube!. Thanks for the upload!

So, is this Raymond Geuss when he's tired?

recovering from an operation, this is helping feed my brain - Thank you! would be interested to know what readings were required for these lectures

Thank You Sir . From Bangladesh . A Big Fan Of Nietzsche . Loved Your Lectures .

First of all thank you very much for upload such magnificent lessons. If I'm not asking to much, could you please also upload the handouts. thanks a million!

He should have waited until he wasn't tired and delivered the whole lecture!

Thank you! So helpful for my daughter. We have been going through different lectures and videos for weeks!

Excellent & impassioned pedagogy

Very in-depth, thank you!

Imagine your boss being like can you redo that report and you're like nah Im tired Ill give you a summary.

Geuss is wrong in one respect: The Swiss revolution of 1848 (a liberal revolution) didn't fail. After a short civil war won by the Liberals modern democratic Switzerland was founded. That is why many Liberals from other european countries took refuge in Switzerland after the failed revolutions.

bro just hypnotized me, dang this is too great

Thanks for uploading this series!

Why could Nietzsche predict he would be so well received by Capital? if they loved Kant so much? treating people as ends in themselves?

i feel like camera operator was very much on disagreement of the lecturer - god can you please keep the camera still?

Thanks for the lectures professor!

Remarkable lectures, thanks

I love this guy! Good work, guy!

Very knowledgeable...thank you professors...

We're all around it but what's it all about - history, the philosophy of history, or histrionics?

Diogenes Laërtius gets slammed

14:00min It would not be, because they had no interest in people developing critical skills? would that be a possibility?

What exactly does he mean by the second empire? Is that the France of Napoleon?

thanks a lot

Thank you!

Thank you

So good. I was dying when he kept going on and on about what an idiot diogenes laertius was hahaha. He used every synonym for moron to describe him hahaha

Always sunny in Philadelphia... "I've grown quite whear-rah...

thanks. very good.

DEEP

Isn't it a bit wrong to call Nietzsche a romantic? Also, is it commenly agreed upon that Nietzsche probably didn't read many of the german idealists, like Kant and Hegel? He criticizes himself in "Ecce Homo" for being to "hegelian" in "The birth of tragedy"

Lange was not a materialist. His book which Geuss refers to is The History of Materialism and a Critique of its Current State. It was three volumes, not two and Lange is not a materialist. Mystery is the leitmotif of his great book. The mind-body problem becomes the center point of metaphysics and mystery takes precedence over matter. Lange was brilliant and Nietzsche had read and studied his work more than once during his life.

Wow!!!!

Take a nap and report back

I want this guy to show me graybles

👍

Fucking rad.

He has an uncanny resemblance with Boris Johnson

There is no complete failure of revolutions in 1848 in central europe. The civil war in Switzerland brings about a liberal constitution. And Switzerland has been a democracy ever since.

What is strikingly absent from this excellent lecture is Rudolf Steiner's (18r64-1925) colossal contribution to Philosophy covering all these philosopher/wannabees including many others not mentioned in this show. All the problems of transcripts are cancelled in Steiner because he was a seer in the proper sense of the word so he's more than a philosopher much more !!! hence the massif body of practical work put out by him before he was poisoned. Nobody touches Steiner... Find him @ rsarchive.org/lectures

The stammering is annoying.

Oh, dear. He's "too tired" to present a full lecture. How very illuminating...and how extremely un-Nietzschean!

So according to this ever so notable old fellow philosophy is nothing more than the study of which subjective fantasy deluded the people the most in a given period until purely external circumstances produced a new fantasy. I know philosophy isnt as concrete and immediately self evident as the external sciences but I think its worth allowing for at least the POSSIBILITY that truth might exist and might not be a complete waste of time looking for. If you're watching this lecture cause you're searching for some kind of meaning in life good luck. If you're in higher education, it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

To claim Nietzsche didn't read any Kant is a ridiculous assumption and lazy lecturing. This was late 19th century Europe not the dark ages and there were many copies of A Critique of Pure Reason floating around Nietzache might have read.

Too tired??....you're talking not running a marathon!

"i can't give the full lecture because I'm tired." how incredibly brazen and lazy. lol

Too tired, if your boss asks you to do something then do it when you're not too tired ...guy thinks he's wwaaayyyy smarter than he is...

I'm glad that I gave up on the absurdity of philosophy when I was in my twenties. I basically had to get off my duff & make a living. Die toten Deutshcen (die jennigen von wem er spricht) had nothing but time on their hands to sit and ponder endlessly. For the most part these great heroes of thought, lived off of others rather likes fleas on host animals. This speaker goes on endlessly sharing discordant facts which are ear marked by their complete lack of interest of any kind. This is fun stuff for atheists and other assorted pagans.
