Part 1 | Part 2Adding to the Key Thinkers seminar series at the University of Melbourne, John Armstrong, Philosopher-in-Residence at the Melbourne Business School and senior...
Thank you very much for posting this. Dr. Armstrong has a wonderful take on Goethe and the book is incredibly well written and beautifully put together. Great book. Great lecture.
Your presence does not justify its pretense. I hope you understand what I mean. When I had a problem with my presence, someone got honest and plain with me. Stung... to be sure! But, i wish i could thank him today.
A movie - Murder on the Orient Express - brought me to Goethe and the beautiful German language. A famous German actress recites Mignon Lied and it was so beautiful I decided to learn German and I then read most of Goethe's work in German. His work is proof that German really is the language of love - more so than French or Latin. This lecture is dull and uninspiring and a load of ...... I am outta here.
Mike Fuller I apologize for the tone and content of my previous response. My only excuse is that I had been squabbling with another and I had not come down. It is beautiful that you love poetry and that you memorize it and writhe it yourself. There are not many like you today and I hope the works and dreams of poets fill and enrich your life and dreams. I always loved watching Rumpole of the Bailey because he was always quoting poetry. The great thing about youtube is there is a lot of poetry available. Go in peace and again my most sincere apologies for my previous response.
+JoachimderZweite Awww! Bless you, my love! What a 'Lovely' person you are, Joachimder! "The finest metempsychosis is when we find ourselves again through others." Goethe ( 1749 - 1832 ). To be honest, I was being foolish in putting myself down for some kind of reaction! Your previous reply was only far less than what I deserved anyway! In actual fact we worry about this sort of thing but I actually think your previous reply under the circumstances was actually very kind! I was looking for a response of someone! I am NOT a poet but I love intellectual things and subject matter despite usually not understanding it! "We must love one another or die!" From 'September, 1939' WH Auden ( 1907 - 1973 ) After a storm we find peace! I hope your squabling has reached a favourable resolution to all parties! With Best Wishes, sweetie! Have a sweet and peaceful life! I take it you are female. Have a sweet and peaceful life anyway! Cheers - Mike
+ JoachimderZweite You are so right! I was reading Gretchen am Spinnenrad -- Meine Ruh ist hin -- and I started crying. Lord, what Goethe does with the German language! Also, Willkommen und Abschied makes me cry as well: Ich ging, du standst und sahst zur Erden Und sahst mir nach mit nassem Blick: Und doch, welch Glück, geliebt zu werden! Und lieben, Götter, welch ein Glück!

This lecture was of great help for formulating my own report on Goethe in college.
Wonderfully presented with key insights and deep scholarship into Goethe’s work.
Watched 17 minutes and it is Goethe as a person. He was a Philosopher, musician etc, and we are talking about personality.
Great speech!
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 30:26
John sounds like Boudewijn Buch hé also was fascinated with Goethe
Thanks!

That's because your presence is justified by it's reflection in others and the genealogy that is the landscape of your perception.
Thumbnail be like :- Hold up
did he imagine a separate library of lives for the women? or did women not actually become adults? did goethe himself discuss this at all?

Holy shit this video should be titled John Armstrong on Himself with a sidenote about Goethe.
How do you justify this comment?
I"ll stick with *The Cat In The Hat*

Rather a stiff speaker.
What do you mean by "stiff"? ... My view is that he is crystal clear
Such an exaggerated pompous British accent
Australian
