Marcus Aurelius' Meditations: The Stoic Ideal
• Marcus Aurelius' Medit...
Rest in peace Mr. Sugrue
I want to thank Dr. Sugrue’s daughter for curating these lectures on UA-cam. Thank you Dr. Sugrue for sharing your insights and wisdom. Your lectures on philosophy have been an inspiration and source of joy to me over the past several months. I’m very grateful.
I’ve never wanted to thank someone more in my entire life on so many levels.
I'm not easily impressed--by anyone or any one thing. But Dr. Sugrue's lectures are hands-down the greatest. Lot of teachers give very informative presentations, but they lack Dr. Sugrue's poetry and rhythm for speaking to an audience. I'm now working on my doctorate degree in organizational leadership. I can only hope I can lecture half as well as him one day.
So am I subscribing to his channel? Why, hell yes! And please also tell me where to send the "thank you" card for inspiring me, too, sir.
RIP Legend.
Thank you so much for the incredible lectures, I truly learned a lot from them and of certain figures I never thought I'd ever get into. The fact that you kept doing them even up to your last breath, shows that you truly lived and breathed what you did.
I wonder how unlucky are those students of Philosophy who have not been able to benefit themselves from this Legend. All my love and prayers for this handsome man and the most diligent pedagogue in the history of Philosophy.💕💕💕💕
I am gratified that Professor Sugrue continues to touch true lovers of Philosophy and knowledge. He and a few select others were my introduction to what we once knew as the Teaching Company, that magnificent Tom Rollins brainchild. His erudition knows few bounds, from the Greeks to the Romans to the Bible and Shakespeare. In responding to an e-mail of praise I sent him several years ago, he revealed that he had been quite ill. I am pleased to see that he continues to share his gifts and I send him every good wish.
We thank you for your kind words, and we will let him know about your comment.

With the recent announcement that Dr. Sugrue will no longer be doing Zoom Lectures due to declining health, I am now making my way through this entire channel. Thank you so much for all of this.
What a Joy for the human race to have access to this truly wonderful treasure library of Michael’s mind..
A few years ago, I watched Sugrue’s Aurelius lecture in astonishment. I wanted more, searched for more and was deeply disappointed not to find much anywhere online. I am SO grateful to have discovered this channel. This is a treasure trove. Thank you, professor.
Need to organise these invaluable lectures into playlists and name them correctly.
What a chad. Greatest intro ever!
I will be forever grateful, Brother Michael
After we first me at Princeton many years ago, my friend Cornel West began addressing me as "Brother Mike" and I was somewhat taken aback but after reflection I decided that this was a fine deployment of words which put his moral and political commitments out front in his speech. I addressed him back as Brother Cornel and I am happy to be your brother as well. Beethoven was right.
I discovered this UA-cam channel today.
Thirty years ago I discovered Dr Sugrue through cassette tapes I purchased through mail order from The Teaching Company. No internet back then for folks like me. Then I got the Plato tapes.
His erudition was beyond belief - the most brilliant academic I ever heard speak - surpassing even the late Art Historian Dr Eileen Michels.
For years and years and years and years I had no one to share this cult discovery with. It looks like finally the world has caught up, lol.
I had no idea whatsoever that my all-time favourite teacher was a conservative, or a Christian, let alone a Catholic until quite recently. Hours and hours and hours of elevating the great ideas of Western thought to performance art and he never gave even the slightest hint of his own beliefs. That is an accomplishment for which I have no words to describe.
NB: I haven't listened to the tapes in years but I vividly remember him gushing over Nietzsche lol. Correction - I think that was Staloff - I am getting old - ugh, sorry!
If you are reading this site Dr Sugrue, thank you for enriching my life for the last 30 years.
From one of your oldest fans, in Ireland.
Thanks for creating this channel. Buying his course on Plato's Dialogs from The Great Courses was one of the best decisions I made! Looking forward to watching more of his classes here too.
A teacher like you in my life would have fundamentally changed my academic career for the better hundred times over. It's been a while since I've been out of school but I come to these lectures with a more zeal for learning than I ever have in my classrooms
Well I finally finished all the lectures ... Now, there’s nothing else to it but start again, I’m sure on a second pass I’ll understand a bit more 🐸🧐 thank you so much professor Sugrue 👨🏫 you’ve enriched the lives of so many with these lectures and your brilliance at explaining for the layman 👏🏻🤝
Your lectures enlighten all of us. Great work!
You finally put out an official channel! Instantly subscribed! I hope your lectures stay on UA-cam forever as we need a great teacher of Philosophy more than ever.
Thank you so much for uploading the lectures. Really, thank you so much.
I hope this is really Professor Sugrue's page, because i want to say, PLEASE, Dr. Sugrue, take a long sabbatical and write us some books. I listen over and over again to your recorded wisdom. Every good wish follows along.
It certainly is Dr. Sugrue's channel. It is managed by his team and relatives. We thank you for your support of his work!
I love the way when he got warmed up, he'd speak a mile a minute, with a flow if undiminished knowledge. Wow. I just listen over and over to everything I could buy from the Teaching Company or which has appeared on You Tube.
@@JeffTallakson i wish tc would release the back catalogue on audible
thank you very much professor!
I hope you're safe and healthy. :)
Never a dull moment at a Sugrue lecture. Thank you, Drs. Sugrue.
Let us all be grateful for this content and not take it for granted! Thanks a lot to all who are making this possible and may God bless Dr Sugrue and his family 🙏🏽
Thank you. These lectures are a blessing.
These lectures are sublime. They are nourishment to the enquiring mind.
I was listening long before and glad to discover your channel. I wish you a healthy happy life Mr Mr Sugrue.
The best presented lecture series I've come across yet. Thank you Michael Sugrue. Totally captivated.
Professor Michael Sugrue is probably the best I've seen when it comes to pure intellectual stimulation. Even when I occasionally (ever so occasionally) disagree with him, I'm still in awe with his masterful presentation of the materials. I'm so excited to see this channel up and running! (have been a longtime closet Sugrue fan ever since listening to his lectures on Plato with the Teaching Company). In any event, if you're out there, thank you Professor Sugrue for being such an inspiration and a mental-defibrillator!
What an amazing speaker, and pedagogue. This lectures are a gift. Thank you very much.
Lo suscribo.
Thank you so much for your lectures, Sir. They are beyond incredible! I'm aware that you've covered a lecture on Nietzsche and the death of God. I'm hoping that you'll be able to upload it in the future.
Best content on UA-cam for me right now. I needed something concise and a well enlightened teacher. Old but golden.
thank you for putting these up. his lectures have been on repeat over the past decade and likely will be for many more to come. i love it when he gets excited and fights himself against speeding up. hope his health rebounds. all the best.
I've been waiting to find his lectures on UA-cam for quite some years now. Finally!
Thank you very much Dr. Michael Sugrue 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s such a precious treasure that I found on UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing all the resources here with the public. Talking about things so deep and abstract ranged so broadly without any visual material, is a classic way of lecturing! Salute to Dr. Sugrue and people who behind this work.
Thank you so much for posting all your videos, professor. Amazing speaker and knowledge base.
Thanks!
Im glad i found this channel
On a new journey now! Glad to have discovered Dr. Sugrue.
In the hysteria that is our society today it is a relief and blessing to have a true gem such as this. Thank you
These are magnificent lectures! Thank you!
Please upload the Ave Maria University Humanities lectures, I've heard they are profound and life changing.
Im on a roll to watch all of the videos for the 3rd time, incredible work, incredible!
this guy is great, thank you very much for sharing all these!
Thank You Professor !
Thank you for this incredible contribution to knowledge and understanding on YT. I’m only a short way in - listened to your superb talk on Gilgamesh and myth. Just wonderful.
Just discovered this channel today, already watched five lectures. I really appreciate the style this man conveys the knowledge. Full of spirit and made digestible with humor. If this man is still alive, please let him know my sincere gratitude, thank you 🙏🏼
I really appreciate it. I can see this series of lectures can have a major impact on my life
This guy is really really good
Dear Professor Sugrue. I found heaven tonight. It has been about 8 years that I have been looking forward to see you visually rather than audibly. I had listened to your lectures a handful of times, but I couldn't find the video version thereof. I am so excited to find you lecturing as a young professor back in the '90s. In fact, I had been able to watch all of the the Great courses but sadly, I lacked your video lectures - being available only in audio format (at least for us Iranians). Your Bible and the western Culture course is top-notch and I am dreaming of re-watching all. I am a translator and a former student of English Literature
thanks again
Thank you, thank you so much for creating this channel and posting all these videos ❤️
Is there somewhere to fine the complete series? Unparalleled companion lectures while at university.
If one or a few basically chronological (in terms of the given subjects) playlists were made to cover all the videos on this channel it would be so much easier to choose if and when to watch something, to improve one's sense of the development of Western philosophy, and in general enrich one's understanding, memory and knowledge. This channel is a treasure trove of insight into many fascinating ideas so I beseech you to make such a playlist collection so that my obsessive brain lost in trying to navigate through this channel can find direction and focus.
One of the best channels on UA-cam! Thank you for creating this channel. All my life first as a student, then as a teacher, and now again as a student, I have never learned so much from a single source. Dr. Michael Sugrue is a living legend and a role model for teachers!
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge for free, it is really priceless ❤
Great lectures! So informative! Professor Sugrue is a truly great intellectual.
Thank you for sharing knowledge. I enjoy your lectures very much, and know you reach people across the globe. Greetings from Brazil
YES, I'M SO HAPPY. I used to have a Playlist with this guy's videos but they all got removed
Thank you so much for uploading these hard-to-find videos! This channel is the only available source for many of the lectures, and I appreciate the time and effort it took to upload them here.
Thank you!
And so begin the series of the greatest lectures ever in UA-cam!
What man! What a vocabulary! What a terrific lecturer!
❤
Right, let's start at the beginning. Ok proto Peterson, loving your take so far, let's see what you got l!!! 🎉😂 Thanks ever so for sharing with the world. Takes some courage 🙏
i was preparing for this channel my entire life
Thank you so much Mr. Sugrue for your fantastic lectures. Some proposed questions are, what do you think of Christified alchemy, and Newton's role in alchemical Christianity. Is Christianity inherently monistic or pluralistic in terms of its sects ontology, ontosophy. Did Surrealism influence philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, many millennia before Breton. Was Big Band jazz distantly influenced by Kant. Did Kant critique Meinong's Jungle before Meinong even came on the scene. What is the set of all thinking-pumps, and is it Godellianistically uncountable. Are hermeneutics essential to writing philosophy or can one endraft a purely avant-garde approach. What is 'objective' philosophy vs. mere imitations of philosophy in the most objectively worded sense, and is objective wordedness even linguistically possible according to Wittgenstein, Carnap, Frege etc.
Wow, after the Marcus Aurelius talk, I'm just blown away by this guy. Very excited to share this with my kids (19 and 16 years) who were recently asking, 'What is philosophy?". Subscribed and looking forward to exploring more of these talks.
I thank this professor for these lectures and the creators of this channel for sharing them. I am interested in philosophy in my free time, and these lectures present the philosophic concepts in brief and clear way. I also like the commentaries he makes about the topics and philosophers he lectures about.
Absolutely incredible
Thank you so much sir❤️
I just discovered this channel and I am very excited and grateful these lectures have been made available. I've watched 5 of the lectures and plan to eventually watch them all. I have a request: I'm having trouble figuring out the proper order in which to watch the lectures. The various lecture series (and also the "Playlists") don't seem to have a clear order of progression. For example there are some lectures which are titled "Part 1," however, the next lecture I can find in the series is "Part 4." I may be mistaken, however, "Part 2" and "Part 3" seem to be missing. If each separate lecture series were titled/labeled clearly (i.e. "Lecture 1," Lecture 2, " etc.) this would be very helpful. These are very valuable, thank you again.
Such a talented educator! I can't express my joy listening to these lectures. Thanks for sharing. (one small request might be putting all the videos in the related playlists. for example, I couldn't find "meditations" video in any of the playlists.
It’s called philosophy 😀😀👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Have to say I didn't know anything about philosophy but his lectures made it simple to understand and it became a addiction to just listen and learn.... Thanks🤙🤙
Looking forward to it!
Excellent
great lectures
I really hope this channel belongs to the real Dr.Surgue and not some internet marketer trying to profit from this great man.
Yes it does. He's my Dad.
@@tsugrue9013 Nice. If he has any lectures on Shakespeare that would be great. His lecture on Stoicism was amazing, and this is timely because I've been looking for more of his videos online recently.
@@thomaswynosky7684 Lectures will be posted in the following order: Marcus Aurelius, Gilgamesh, Shakespeare's Measure for Measure then dozens of others of my father's lectures. Anyone who wants to subscribe will be able to view them all in one place
T Sugrue That’s great to hear and I am looking forward to that.
@@thomaswynosky7684 Thank you for your support!
My friend and teacher Dr. mcgee asked me to get Dr surgrue's lectures ..and finally found them . Thank you ,
If you could also get his lectures on Shakespeare 🙏 😀
I've watched a couple of these now and they're brilliant. Really enjoyable stuff. I'd like to watch them in order though and there doesn't seem to be an easy way of recognising what the correct order to watch them in is. Perhaps it doesn't really matter.
The man, the myth, the living legend.
Divinity right here
3000 YEARS! Lots to cover!
Nice
Awesome
Nothing else to do but to carry on his legacy.
These are God-like level teaching examples. Edit: my PhD is in the history of science. lectured undergrads extensively in history and philosophy of science. This is so excellent I feel like a student again.
I've thus far been very impressed with the videos I've seen, the Plato, Frankfort School, Marcus Aurelius, Emmanuel Kant, ect I saw that there was one on The wealth of Nations haven't seen it yet, although I didn't see one on Smith's other masterpiece. The theory of moral sentiments. 🤔
Thank you for uploading these videos! After seeing the lecture on The Meditations, I gained a whole new prospective on life. I wish I could have had teachers with this much passion when I was a kid, I might have gone down a much different path. Is there any chance you would consider uploading these to Spotify? I really want to listen to these lectures when I'm out for walks, but video takes too much data.
Release the entire archive
Omg. There's a channel!!!
A sign of the times - a return of dedication and study to the original philosophies that underpin our western civilization. You may even say 'philosophical consciousness' has arisen in the sprit of Wesern civilization. Marvellous stuff professor.
YAY!!!! WooHoo!!!! #Stoics
I love your channel professor!
By the way, can I ask what year this was filmed?
I believe his lectures were filmed from 1993 to 1998.
Hi Michael, I like your lectures but did you do one on Carl Jung? He was a very important and influentual thinker in society
Is there a suggested order for watching these video lectures? Just the order in which they were posted? I just stumbled upon the Thucydides lecture, and loved it.
F
antastic, thank you. When will they be uploaded?
We should have the first lecture up within the next few days! Thank you for the support!
Inquiry - bit confused on his intros, as they seem like they are from the Great courses, but only one of his lectures is available on The Great Courses. I was looking for his notes, would anyone know if there are structured notes his classes/lectures?
hell ya
Somehow my first post covering the Bible and Western Culture didn't appear after trying to post twice last night, and so I'll try again. Great thanks to our host, Professor Sugrue's daughter, for allowing us access to this treasure trove of intellectual delight. I hope it is not too presumptuous that I compiled these in an organized fashion, but I did it for myself and for the many others I've seen comment in trying to make some over-arching sense of the wealth of material here. If my posting these is objectionable in any way, I apologize, and I will remove them immediately.
The dates alongside the titles are the "upload" dates, and they don't always correspond with the logical order of the lectures. The titles are as they appear on the videos, and don't necessarily correspond to the UA-cam titles. There are some lectures missing, but since it has been nine months since the last upload I fear that they may never see the light of day. Again, great thanks to the host(s) of this channel for such a mind-blowing gift.
