I love you man, I wish I could attend your classes

Absolutely excellent, so much thanks! As a follower of yours for years now this series has still tied a lot of things together and been very enlightening! Will likely relisten to it a good 3-4 times. If you ever have the chance to record and share a course of yours on specifically Kant thats something I would highly appreciate. Best regards!

That’s a good insight about the dialectic: that it works for the lower class

Waiting for my books to come in to start this course. Do you think I’ll be fine without the earlier lectures?
