I was cleaning a lab and listening to this talk. When he actually uttered these words😂, my eyes and mind were fixed at a bottle sitting on some kind of brown fresh stain on a newly installed workstation, which I am meant to clean. On the bottle there was a warning label that warned me not to touch as whatever this wash was dangerous as it was biological😮 and now stuck between the curious statement and this I was there for a moment reflecting on the thought of the phases that the wholesomeness of humanity depended on in the eyes of Hegel. The good the bad and the ugly are processes that the growing child is better going thru to trully appreciate life and know when adulthood hopefully brings the harmony home. I then looked at one of his references, "One Dimensional Man" book on the subject of totalitarianis 😢 then I thought poor we! We have taken dominion over all things with too much unawareness of what it actually means. There is a meaning what mankind is and must be but if its overtime and yet we still dont what that is all we have is what, Hagel assures us, which is that nature has got our back?

I recently feel so depressed with my work, then I come back to the lectures of Prof. Sugrue, everything is so beautiful.

Whats great about Dr. Sugrue's interpretation of philosophy and ideas is that he ties it to the poetic, the lyrical, the artistic and the spiritual aspects of human experience. The four pillars of culture- art, philosophy, religion and science- are intimately intertwined like a thread running through Western thought.

I sure want to hear more from Dr. Sugrue on Hegel. There is so much more to discuss.

Really interesting!! I like the idea that we're somehow invariably stuck in that loop of not being able to push past the 'end' of things. Such a human notion :) x

Few can make as great an impact on as many people as college professors who are truly passionate about *teaching*. Many are experts in their field, but never learn how to make complicated ideas accessible without comprising their complexity.

Sugrue is the man!

Speaking as a teacher of Transcendentalism, etc. Well that's lovely and very well laid out. A wonderful lecturer.

Before watching i knew there is a guy named Hegel. After i watch the video i will know what he stands for, what he brought new to the table, his place in history, relation to old, then and now, in less than an hour.

Wow. Incredible foresight. Brilliant guy. I’ve learned more from Sugrue than I have anywhere else. I’m incredibly grateful for these lectures.

I’m new to Sugrue and his lectures and very much enjoying his approach. Kierkegaard supposed that we are faced with a life choice of either an aesthetic or ethical life. When I was a young man(more than 50 years ago) I considered my life’s path and the 2 choices discussed went, rather crudely, through my mind. I did come to a conclusion that satisfied both my aesthetic and ethical ideals. I took up the path of a gardener, specifically Japanese gardens. With a more than thousand year history guided by the egalitarian traditions of both Shinto and Buddhist disciplines. There was also the added benefit of a physically rigorous effort to execute the practice and principles of an ecologically and ethically correct path. A good life,indeed, resulted.

Just helped me out tremendously, especially the analogies to Kant and the descriptions of chialism and eschatology.. Thank you!

I feel asleep during a terrible headache and this video turned on. In the dream the Hegelian concepts were laid out through symbols which I could distinclty understand, while I was walking around a temple-like setting with palms and old acquantances. I found that profound for some reason, I need to get into this stuff more.

This is incredibly beautiful

When you temporalize and turn the history of philosophy into a series of phases the last phase has to be you. And the last phase has been us for the last 150 years now. I have no doubt that in the next century--again here's charting out the Hegelian trajectory--there's gonna be a whole new generation of philosophers that wanna get tenure that are gonna have to get rid of this earlier generation and really turn the corner, have a new, totally changed end of history. It could be that we'll never get beyond Hegel in that respect: that we all feel the need to create a novelty, [something] spurious but entertaining. And that is our homage to Hegel. So even if it is a little presumptuous to explain the true reconciliation of God and Man, even if it's just a tad implausible to write the Geist's autobiography, to actually be the Geist, all of our intellectual concerns and all of the intellectual concerns since the time of Hegel have been one way or another dealing with his legacy: either by accepting it and trying to reformulate it in such a way as is consistent with the dominant intellectual trends of the time (and what could be more Hegelian than that?) or rejecting it and saying that we've totally changed the corner, we have to trow out all this Hegelian stuff (and what could be more Hegelian than that?). Either way, we're stuck with Hegel. For all the limitations, for all the poetry, for all the sort of metaphysical lapses in it, it's the last great attempt to articulate the meaning and the significance of all human existence.

I take a break from car crash videos to get down with something really exciting when I have the time and patience. Always worth hearing Professor Sugrue.

we go from plato envisioning the city-state, the People or the Polis, as its own organism with a soul to hegel envisioning the whole of humanity in a similar way...this is my first time engaging with western philosophy at this level of depth and im so excited to discover more!!!!

Thank you very much it really helps me to study and also watching it inspires me on how I should work on similiar topic. However I do not know what awaits a person in today's world after a Master or Phd degree in philosophy. But this is ofcourse not the topic of the video.

Process philosophy. The key to understanding how western civilization operates. The majority do not grasp dialectics and so they play their team sports and history is born over and over via synthesis.

Simply brilliant big thinking lecture. Great humor and irony too. I found myself laughing out loud at times.

Very interesting! I would agree probably that at the time this lecture was given Hegel was the last major philosopher to attempt a respectable answer to the “Why” of human history. However now I would say that we should seriously consider René Girard as someone who has attempted to answer this question and in my opinion provided a much more satisfactory explanation and framework. Would love to see Prof Sugrue give a lecture on Girard! Love his presentation.

It seems to be an analogy for how human beings have the unique condition that we have to consciously adapt to our habitat to survive. It isn't built in physically like with most animals. This means when we adapt we also change the environment, and we then further adapt, moving constantly toward a sustained and cohesive self-built world. At any stage in this process of subjective refinement of civilization, everyone in every time can say they are at an end and be right. A historical process is defined by qualitatively distinct moments of Real subjectivity.
