Thanks! Now that I'm finished with my summer travels, I'm hoping to get back on track with this series. Look for more Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Sartre vids, as well as new stuff on Nietzsche, Heidegger, Camus, Marcel, etc. coming up over the next few months
Now, that's something I really like to read -- that watching these videos gets people to read, or reread the texts. My real goal here is not just to present the texts/thinkers in an accessible way -- it's to get people engaged in dialogue with the thinkers themselves
Thank you so much for these videos! I decided to read Nausea as an introduction to Sartre and existentialism in general but was having some trouble following along. I just finished reading it and while I enjoyed it, I was left very confused. After watching these videos many things started to make sense and I’m really considering rereading Nausea now thank you again :)
I really enjoyed your lecture -- one of my favorites so far. I read Nausea years ago and it left a lasting impression on me. I think I'm going to read it again now that I've watched this and become interested in it once more.
Mr. Sadler: I cannot thank you enough for posting this lecture on You tube. I am reading this book now, and I am not able to follow it without your assistance. Thank you very much once again. Live Long and Prosper.
That's very nice to read! Glad you liked it. I have to say that I missed a lot the first times I read Nausea, way back in undergrad, and I now see a lot more of what Sartre built into it. I doubt I've plumbed it entirely, though
I'm glad you enjoyed the video -- and the book. I was happy to go back to it after so many years of not having reread it -- just to see Sartre's descriptions
Hi ! I enjoyed your lecture, but I was surprised you left something out: don't you think that at the very end of the novel the possibility is raised that art, or the production of art, can somehow justify existence, "Just a little?" as Sartre writes?

It's not.

Nope. Not really.
very good;thank you.
Sad to hear about your dad ..That must have been very hard to take.
It was for some time, yes
So is Sartre considered an Existentialist nihilist ?
Generally, no, he's not considered a nihilist
i tried to read nausea , but it was so boring that I had to quit. I like to read novels, but this was beyond my understanding
Well that's unfortunate for you
:)
