I work 9:00 to 5:00 jobs and would never have found these articles without you Mr milliman, can't thank you enough. Your analysis is also greatly appreciated and unique.

Definitely one of the most interesting channel in this sphere. I enjoyed you summing up things while reading the article.

I absolutely enjoyed your article on anti-liberalism. I look forward to listening to more of your research.

Contextualizing thought and actions by immersing oneself in a culture's literature (today, film, tweets and videos may be more viable), will seldom happen in today's American classroom. Self-absorbed, jingoistic American students need immediate and shallow understanding or stimulation. I see your teaching as being a gift to the homeschooler here in the rural Midwest, and hope more inquisitive seekers will find your contributions... Thanks to Viva Frei and Robert Barnes for this introduction. and may the understanding of the "right-wing" label be ever changing.

Thank you for sharing your intellect and education with those of us who question everything. This was brilliant and much appreciated by myself.

I enjoy your content and follow your takes online, Michael. Thank you.

This channel is great. After watching a few videos I was expecting you to have 100k+ followers. I’m not very well read on these topics besides some Nietzsche, so some of it goes over my head. I need to take your word for the interpretation of other thinkers but you break down these ideas brilliantly and cover a great variety of topics.

Thank you.

Your analysis & writing give me a lot to think about - thanks! It would interesting to hear your critique on the political philosophy of Antonio Gramsci, or comparable Marxist thinkers.

The observation on Heidegger is a good one, namely the idea that we must return to the ancient Greeks, or alternatively, that modern day progress isn’t really the progress it has come to be known as. To push more into this idea, it seems to me that Heidegger at some point recognized that the real utility and meaning of metaphysics is not being as such (scholastic being qua being). Rather it is most fundamentally a foundation for the Truth. Heidegger in my opinion obfuscates this argument in his work ‘Introduction to Metaphysics’ by unfairly surveying being from the ancients to Descartes and then to Kant. (The ‘being and …’ chapter 4 in particular). Penetrating though Heidegger’s analysis clearly is (it goes without saying that his textual analyses of the ancient Greeks is profound) he obfuscates the ancients and being by defining being as being and becoming and being and thinking. A closer examination of Aristotle’s Metaphysics (and also the Physics and the Categories) reveals I believe the real meaning of metaphysics, namely a science for the Truth. Heidegger’s fourfold distinction is quite rhetorically persuasive but misses the central point. This just re-affirms the position that Heidegger wanted to understand the ancients on their terms to the extent possible. But the meaning he finds in metaphysics misses the mark.

Great stuff. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoy listening to these thank you very much

Very nice article

Very intersting unfortunatly I am not versed enough in philosophy to undertand it fully

Very interesting article! What makes you say Hobbes is the Founder of Liberalism?

Populism is presenting a challenge to all these positions. It rejects fascism and Communism. It’s conservative in wanting to preserve traditional values, but progressive in wanting a say in all policies that affect people’s well-being. The example of Athenian democracy was an influence on the Founders. For Plato, democracy had killed the wisest of men. How are we to choose? Obviously, in our time people have lost faith in the idea that they are being governed by the wise and good. Can faith be restored, and if so, how? Or is a democratic republic just a pipe dream, and we should resign ourselves to being ruled by the slyest and most rapacious?

You deserve far more views

Do you sincerely believe that philosoophy has any power to cause change our civilization, politically or otherwise? Spengler's point was that to even see a lineage of Western philosophy that goes back to Aristotle and Plato is a mistake and also that we never did and never will understand them like they understood themselves anyway. He thinks that our civilization is already downhill of all that and though we might like to steer the civilization with philosophy again, it is just not a possibility.

ive never heard “hobbesian” pronounced like that. am i just a smooth brained layman?

But Plato was more philosophical than political...... or rather I should say Plato's Politics is dead. So, I can't see how Plato can answer the present political problem. Straussianism works to conserve liberalism, but it is impotent when faced with the necessity of reform or a new founding, post liberalism I'll have to look more into Dugin, but I'm deeply skeptical he offers a solution. Another "solution" is on the horizon, more dreadful as I see than Nazism or Fascism. Thanks again

Mr. Millerman are you Jewish?

​@@benjamintreitz1647 I'm guessing he asked simply because it's rare (or so I assume) for a Jewish man to be so interested in the likes of Evola, Schmitt, and so forth. Kind of like turning on a hockey game and seeing a black guy skating around. It isn't wrong; it's just that it doesn't happen frequently.
