I would listen to this guy go through the whole history of western philosophy.

For someone that’s too tired, he has a lot of energy

These lecture series are so enriching. Thank you.

Thank you so much Kotti Everdine, Professor Geuss, and Cambridge University. What an absolutely amazing opportunity to attend this lecture series from one of the top sources in the world. I learned so much and already see how my perspectives have broadened from just this 7-part series. I am extremely grateful to you all for making this content available and giving me a taste of Cambridge University.

Can't you find your way back? I also had some problems with it but i got back to school few years later to get acces to universities and I don't regret any of the effort I put in. Social support is important though. In some cases therapy is also a good antidote to add. warm regards

Thank you, Prof. Geuss and the channel organizer. The history of the interrelation between human mentality, morality, and religion unfolds in Nietzsche's untimely works. This inspiring video helps for the detailed and elaborate historical background of the eras before and after Nietzsche.

Best lecture series of Nietzsche on KZread

These kind of things is the best thing about youtube!. Thanks for the upload!

MOST of Nietzsche’s books are VERY readable. People seem afraid of a string of difficult aphorisms; those are for the most part confined to Will To Power, which was more or less the work of his sister after he died. There is great enjoyment waiting for you in those books.

I think Human All Too Human is the best start, as it feels like (though I'm not very sure) it kind of introduces a lot of the ideas he presents in his more iconic works.

​@@kristianj.8798 I'd start with Genealogy of Morals. It was the most accessible for me and has most of his big ideas. I absolutely love Thus Spoke Zarathustra but wouldn't recommend it until people have read a few other Nietzsche books first. I'd be completely lost if I started with that one first. It's pretty difficult.

Raymond Geuss was my professor for several terms, and not only did he live in Germany for years where he studied and taught, but he writes and publishes in German. So, it comes rather naturally to him to mix German (and several other languages) with English. And yes, of course, he reads Nietzsche in German.

You can easily read all about Nietzche yourself. All in Latin, XIX century German, all his critique and then make KZread video for free. KZread is not a boss of professor. Capitalistic state of mind - got full lecture on subject but didn't understood nothing because been said at the beginning that lecturer is tied.

14:00min It would not be, because they had no interest in people developing critical skills? would that be a possibility?

thanks a lot

Geuss is wrong in one respect: The Swiss revolution of 1848 (a liberal revolution) didn't fail. After a short civil war won by the Liberals modern democratic Switzerland was founded. That is why many Liberals from other european countries took refuge in Switzerland after the failed revolutions.

Why could Nietzsche predict he would be so well received by Capital? if they loved Kant so much? treating people as ends in themselves?

i feel like camera operator was very much on disagreement of the lecturer - god can you please keep the camera still?

There is no complete failure of revolutions in 1848 in central europe. The civil war in Switzerland brings about a liberal constitution. And Switzerland has been a democracy ever since.

Lange was not a materialist. His book which Geuss refers to is The History of Materialism and a Critique of its Current State. It was three volumes, not two and Lange is not a materialist. Mystery is the leitmotif of his great book. The mind-body problem becomes the center point of metaphysics and mystery takes precedence over matter. Lange was brilliant and Nietzsche had read and studied his work more than once during his life.

Isn't it a bit wrong to call Nietzsche a romantic? Also, is it commenly agreed upon that Nietzsche probably didn't read many of the german idealists, like Kant and Hegel? He criticizes himself in "Ecce Homo" for being to "hegelian" in "The birth of tragedy"

Nietzsche scholars have shown he only read expositions of Kant and Hegel in secondary literature, I believe.

He has an uncanny resemblance with Boris Johnson

The stammering is annoying.

So according to this ever so notable old fellow philosophy is nothing more than the study of which subjective fantasy deluded the people the most in a given period until purely external circumstances produced a new fantasy. I know philosophy isnt as concrete and immediately self evident as the external sciences but I think its worth allowing for at least the POSSIBILITY that truth might exist and might not be a complete waste of time looking for. If you're watching this lecture cause you're searching for some kind of meaning in life good luck. If you're in higher education, it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

Typical postmodern relativism

What is strikingly absent from this excellent lecture is Rudolf Steiner's (18r64-1925) colossal contribution to Philosophy covering all these philosopher/wannabees including many others not mentioned in this show. All the problems of transcripts are cancelled in Steiner because he was a seer in the proper sense of the word so he's more than a philosopher much more !!! hence the massif body of practical work put out by him before he was poisoned. Nobody touches Steiner... Find him @ rsarchive.org/lectures

To claim Nietzsche didn't read any Kant is a ridiculous assumption and lazy lecturing. This was late 19th century Europe not the dark ages and there were many copies of A Critique of Pure Reason floating around Nietzache might have read.

I'm glad that I gave up on the absurdity of philosophy when I was in my twenties. I basically had to get off my duff & make a living. Die toten Deutshcen (die jennigen von wem er spricht) had nothing but time on their hands to sit and ponder endlessly. For the most part these great heroes of thought, lived off of others rather likes fleas on host animals. This speaker goes on endlessly sharing discordant facts which are ear marked by their complete lack of interest of any kind. This is fun stuff for atheists and other assorted pagans.
