I hate social media and technology but one thing it has done is made knowledge like this accessible to the layman if this were 20 years ago you would have to attend college to hear him speak now here it is right at your fingertips and that is great thing.

RIP professor. Your lectures have been a consolation in my life.

I just can't get over how good this content is. Michael is so well versed in everything. Thank you Michael for sharing this content for free!!

How does he formulate everything so coherent and easy to digest? Must be a teacher thing. Also, whenever i watch Dr. Sugrue's videos on UKposts, i can't help but feel forever indebted, that this is, right here, available for me to watch.

The way he says “now” as a segue … I love it!!

Freud as one of the 20th century’s great poets, and meant as a compliment. That’s very insightful and I agree. Another fine lecture, it’s a real privilege to see these.

A few things a guaranteed: this man drives a Saab 900, he prefers an aged single-malt and Cuban from time to time, this jacket is the only one he owns without leather elbow-patches, he plays basketball, he has always been 41 years old.

I just stared at his really long tie the entire lecture.

A signature lecture by a master. I've never seen ideas presented this clearly and cogently

On the day of his death I was introduced to his work. And now his spirit is housed in my mind as long as I can

Oh man, Professor! What I would give to have had attended your lectures in person.😭🏆

“You can’t ignore the fact that there’s a social philosophy connected with this.” Hard to overstate how far this places the best of psychoanalysis from the dregs of psychiatry and pharmacology in 21st-century America.

I watched a lot of various philosophy lectures and nothing comes close to Michael Sugrue. I have never seen someone so articulate and smooth with his delivery, he is truly the best I have ever seen at this. What a gift these lectures are, thank you for sharing this.

Professor, your lectures are fantastic. You manage to explain complex ideas and theories, making everything seem so easy and natural. I envy those who had the honour of being your students. Thank you for sharing these lectures with the rest of us. You are a model to me.

I don’t often comment on videos, but honestly thank you so much for uploading this You just helped me place a whole semester of rather intensive study into a central narrative. You really helped me see the forest through the trees!

Sir your lectures are a treasure trove of the internet!

Thank you as always for giving these to the world.

Thank you for this.I have never been so happy for uploaded lectures as when I saw the new ones on your channel.looking forward to more of them.

32:24 *Freud @ Rousseau* “Rousseau wants to fundamentally change society. Why? Because _we’re all corrupted by an evil world._ Freud says, _Look-you were evil to begin with. The world did with you what it could and it made you better than you would be and even that’s not very good.”_

This guy is so great. I love him. He would be my favorite teacher.

Thank you Professor Sugrue! Incredible lecture as usual

quickly becoming one of my favorite online profs

Ah, Doctor Adam Friedland of Cumtown fame! What a spectacular lecture.

Take care of this man, He is a global treasure

holy shit this is adam friedlands father

I love these lectures, so spirited, just beautiful 🙏🏼

NOT THIS TIME ADAM FRIEDLAND

Man these videos are unreal. Thanks so much for uploading !

What a gift! Thank you so much for posting these wonderful lectures

What a great mind, Michael

Absolutely riveting, insightful, and very helpful in clearing up a lot of assumptions and some misconceptions about Freud.

Thank you very much for continuously postings such rich lectures

38:56 *Science of psychoanalysis* “It is like literary criticism or theology right, in _that_ sense it is scientific. It is not scientific in the sense the physics is scientific. The unconscious is not an entity in the sense that the liver is an entity. When you stop making those category mistakes you can begin to really appreciate what a great thinker Freud is because he’s talking about something, the internal contents of our psyche, that just resists strict hard shelled scientific discussion.” “The truth is that which runs after truth.” -Lacan “Science fiction, like psychoanalysis, holds open the place of truth as a hole in knowledge and thus does not subsume certainty under the category of knowledge.” - Theresa Giron

Absolutely incredible lecture. To cover that much ground with such depth and insight. Amazing, amazing work.

Ineffably grateful for this content. Thanks, Dr Sugrue.

Thank you for these videos, Professor Sugrue.

This is a great unbiased overview of Freud! Gem of a lecture.

How can he go on speaking like that, not stammering a for second word. Not looking at the contents to say what's next? I understand he has put the time of his life into study philosophy. Let's say this Dr. Sugrue is certainly a genius of our generation.

Is there anything Dr. Sugrue didn’t know about? A true genius.

These lectures are pure gold. Thanks for posting.

its Adam!

This was a fantastic lecture. Thank you.

Always great. Thanks for sharing.

Would love to see a lecture about Carl Jung

Excellent. Extraordinarily clear, and that is something only comes from deep understanding.

Thank you professor 👨‍🏫

Another fantastic lecture! Thank you!

Fascinating! Thank You Dr. Sugrue so very much for all your work.

Last 20 sec❤ when professor is searching for words to put it right. Love the lectures. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart.

The best UKposts channel period

Lmao Adam Friedland in the thumbnail

These are fantastic. RIP sir

Just stumbled on your lectures sir , never went to college but I enjoy listening into these when I’m at work , thank you for making these available 🤙🏽

BEST summary I EVER have heard

Can’t wait!

this indeed is one of your best....thanks prof - you are so damn good and so insightful - loved the comparisons and the ways in which you linked up the several complex ideas and stayed fully in context and connected to the texts. Incredible what 45 minutes can pack - you are a truly a great teacher

another great video! Thank you so much for the upload Michael I'm a huge fan

Brilliant Teacher!

This lecture on Freud and the one on Gadamer are both really great and insightful, thanks!

I love to know about professor's opinion about Carl Jung. Wonderful video by the way. Thank you.

Amazing! I love this very much.

Excellent intro into Freud from a philosophy perspective also I like the notation on the difference of language understanding between science in our understanding and wissenschaft in the German language of Freud.

This is phenomenal Thank you 🙏 professor Sugrue

This is a wonderful example of the beauty of academic life. There is nobility in the pursuit of knowledge.

Very helpful. sympathetic and insightful. Useful when it comes to understanding the utility and place of Freud's ideas today.

Liked this talk so much. Education is a precious thing. Cheers UKposts many thanks. Cheers SBM

Mike I love your work

This is the 3rd lecture I’ve watched, this is GREAT STUFF !

Good one! Keep it coming

This man is incredible. As someone whos read a great deal of Freud's literature its refreshing to find a video with someone who knows what theyre talking about.

This one is just so good👍👍👍

Brilliant. Brilliant Brilliant! The idea that Psychology is a "soft" science and negative criticism of the theories of Freud as not scientific I have heard before. What makes your lecture so convincing is the knowledge and detail you add to your analysis that I agree with. In addition you add humor that makes this lecture not only entertaining but plausible and convincing on an "unconscious" level- we more often agree with people we can laugh with. The idea of a Primal Family in Totem and Taboo as Freud's source for where we get the unconscious- you blew away as equating that notion with Santa Claus- imagination and no proof in extremis.

Brilliant!

Second video that popped up in my recommended today. Excellent content. Subscribed

Another amazing lecture!

This is the best reading of Freud I've ever seen.

Love this 🥰

Now that's a skillful lecturer!

Thank You!

I came here to learn more about Freud thanks to Migala Podcast, thanks to "El Senor Santo". Excellent content.

Thank you!

never knew Jeff Goldblum studied so much Freud before he collaborated with Cronenberg

45:14 Thought he was just gonna say ”flawed”, but then he finishes it off perfectly

Insightful. RIP 🙏❤️Professor Sugre.

I love learning from Harold Ramis

Thanks!

Bravo!

amazing lecture

I really appreciation Professor Sugrue's erudition and his ability to make it readily accessible. I've read several Freud books with fascination, but having heard Michael Sugrue, I begin to see the social, cultural, historical and epistemological implications of Freud's thought. Bravo!

excellent

This, in my humble opinion, has been the best introduction to Freud! i absolutely agree with your statement "Freud is one of the great poets in the 20th Century." Because what he said, was in line with the Romantic movement, ie, sublimation of our desires and feelings unto literature, as in the case of Wordsworth- in poetry. Thank you so much, Professor!!

“God is the big Sky Daddy” - Dr. Michael Sugrue

I thought it was Adam Friedland on the thumbnail. I assumed it was a cumtown clip about philosophy

Sugrue is the unsung hero of the 21st century

Freud on Netflix is an interesting series in light of this lecture.

very informative lecture

So much of this feels like a revelation of what intellectualism is exercised towards. Flashy ideaisms.

I love using original terms in German to English. - Take this word _aufheben_ for example. The great philosopher *Hegel* also uses this term to explain a lot of things going on in his theories. In Swedish this translates into _upphäva._ "Upp" means _up,_ from Swedish to English. Which is weird compared to the English term _sublimation,_ having the meaning of something that is going "down" or "under". For some reason, the romance language tradition is using the opposite preposition compared to the Nordic language tradition. - Suppose it's the same figurative way so say something is going _up_ in smoke, as to something being burnt _down._ Either way, this seem to express similar type of metaphysical points. Very fascinating to get into the mind of long dead thinkers in this fashion!

God, man and the devil standing in for id, ego and superego….GODDAMN!! What an awesome interpretation

Thanks
