Dr. Darren Staloff, Nietzsche's Critique of Historical Consciousness

[@JC-ex8ts]

Thank you Dr. Michael Sugrue and Dr. Darren Staloff. Your lectures have inspired so many people to pursue knowledge and learn how to think. I've been in search for a direction to learn more philosophy and history from books and lectures worth studying. The two of you have provided such important knowledge to help navigate life more meaningfully, free of charge, by posting your lectures on KZbin, and although you don't know me, I simply wanted to express my deepest appreciation.

[@dr.michaelsugrue]

You are very welcome.

[@michaelmcgrath4136]

Beautifully expressed.

[@kurtadamlar]

Definitely. The best in the West.

[@roostercogburn1943]

These professors are a dying breed, we will not see such great orators, with such deep analysis and certain proclamations on philosophy. The lectures are a treasure.

[@_czerny_]

haha now we have Johnathan Bi, Jordan Peterson Jared Henderson, & RC Waldun etc. etc. a new generation of booming Philosophical Renaissance

I have been reading beyond good and evil for at least a few years. What I mean is I’ve been contemplating page 1 for a few years. Finally on my bed the other day the will to truth hit me right between the eyes. I suddenly grasped what he was saying. Now onto page two, see you in a few years.

[@willsonbasyal7883]

[@nickdomenicos5987]

So what did he mean? How do you understand it?

[@enlightenedanalysis]

This was a very useful and informative lecture. One of the best. Thank you for sharing this.

[@raketemensch6116]

Shocking how relevant this book & lecture are in 2022, thank you for uploading!

[@coimbralaw]

Tell us how, exactly

[@James-ll3jb]

Nietzsche is ALWAYS relevant. He's STILL ahead of his time!

[@shreddez]

Dr Staloff, brilliant lectures aside, always stylish.

[@markustanbeck9149]

Fantastic, well paced and I learned many new things. I deeply appreciate the upload !

[@michaeldao1]

Such a brilliant lecture, thanks so much. Of all the Nietzsche I've read that essay stuck with me more than anything. I think of him every time I see a cow 'fettered to the moment' . If N were here I'm sure he would encourage us to limit our time on this ultra-horizon-expander that is the INTERNET

[@Feuerbach1]

I loved this lecture too! The other Nietzsche work I come back to often is 'On truth and lie in an extramoral sense'

[@henryburby6077]

Correct. Our access to endless knowledge is utterly paralyzing.

[@Brainteaser5639]

​@henryburby6077 OK. I am cooling off for a week Thanks.

[@coolhandphilip]

It's been 30 years of study and I still can't spell Nietszche without double checking.

[@PaulZaczek]

And apparently many more ;-)

[@cheri238]

Yep, exactly 💯 👌

Neitzsche

As a secular bible historian, i am not atheist or illusioned. Ive rationalized the value of the spirit of the faith and how powerful it is in its dominance of human spirit.

[@CatnamedMittens]

Nietzsche was really one in a billion

[@muhammadasifkhan4198]

Fantastic presentation.

[@Zero-iw3tj]

another nietzsche banger!

[@bishop7954]

Thanks! Please keep uploading these!

[@eft1978]

He's no Sugrue, but he's second best!

[@ampgorky]

Sugrue is an admirable and impressive lecturer, I was just thinking about that this weekend.

[@kevinbeck8836]

I prefer Staloff

[@cheri238]

Dr. Darren Staloff and Professor Sugre have both given me an opportunity to learn more about philosophy. Especially, Professor Sugre lectures also on novels of literature. Exposure to that began as a young child. This one I have watched before as all others. Both men have added to my appreciation of great thinkers of centuries, and I want eternally grateful for all the knowledge they introduced on all videos. Nietzsche, I love, as I have said before, I find humor in him with all he has written. Furthermore, I will not comment on why. Possibly, it has been because someone has bullied me here in the comment section. Although I don't allow such trivial immaturity effect me personally. Lol Thank you again with much affection and respect. Happy holidays🌲☃️🌲 to your families and friends.

[@henryburby6077]

Nietzsche is hilarious, I agree. So is Kafka.

This was a really great lecture.

As always - Thank you!

That jacket is almost as brilliant as Nietzsche. It looks like it was picked up at a thrift shop for 1940s gangsters.

My gawd that chalk-stripe blazer

[@edwardwoods3097]

I know. It’s gorgeous, right?

[@cheri238]

Gorgeous 😍

[@ampgorky]

It is super fly for sure.

[@blackotaku9905]

Without history , its very tough to understand an ancient thinker

[@gjergskender8536]

not really; you just need the willpower to remove yourself from modernity for a length of time; or be functionally schizophrenic.

[@CatnamedMittens]

I think the book listed in the description is the wrong edition. It's the one translated by Peter Preuss that he uses.

Another great talk delivered. Thank you Dr. Sugrue and Dr. Staloff. I wonder if there is a lecture regarding Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense? I feel that this another short essay contain a lot of wisdom, only if it to be explicated rightly. My reading of it just couldn't be as insightful as I imagine yours would, ten times fold...

[@sanduceroable]

Great lecture. The romans didn't know the translation of the Greek word Logos, so they went with Ratio et Oratio, or Reason and Speech. You have both. Nietzsche saw an eternal recurrence of endless cycles of very strange attractors. Then Trostky translated it in Permanent Revolution, like now, when thanks to the electric circuitry, we can have One Thousand & One Nights every hour, every day, every night.

[@pearz420]

I'm eternally rolling my eyes at this. The more I read it, the less sense it makes.

The colonies paid taxes requested by the King, to whom they were loyal. They did not have any representation in Parliament and therefor felt it wrong for Parliament to impose taxes on them. That was the problem, not the existence of taxes. Prior to Parliament's trying to impose taxes on the colonies, the King would tell the Governors of each colony how much taxation was needed from them. Then, local governments would work out how to raise the taxes among themselves.

[@culbinator]

This was excellent. The “end times” phenomenon has been around for a very, very long time.

[@christinemartin63]

I'm Paul, a devout follower of Christ. I have a deep faith, and I will convert as many "lost souls" as I can. Of course, I believe in a glorious afterlife. Why am I afraid to get in a boat? I'm afraid that the boat may capsize ... and I may die. Paul and Nietzsche, if you walk your talk, I am more likely to believe your religion and philosophy, respectively 😉.

[@mingus444_gaming]

you dont respect paul because he was afraid of the ocean?

[@jaredzakreski7697]

I would just like to comment that your supposition of Independence day being strictly the mark of a revolution against taxes on the colonies is inherently false. It is partially true, being that the stamp act and and the tea tax and the others like it were the straw that broke the camel's back; but the beginning of the independence movement was a position held by a fringe minority of colonists in the North, and it was not until after the Battle of Bunker Hill in the revolutionary war that independence from the crown of Great Britain was the end goal. The colonists were fighting for protections in law and government. They felt like they were robbed of jurisprudence in the courts. Many trials were held in Britain, forcing colonists to be delivered back to the mainland and tried in an unfair court that was heavy handed in favor of British interests, specifically the King's. they had no power to enact laws in the colonies on their own behalf to ensure peace and stability and protections of their own. Every legislation had to go back to the main land and be given the stamp of the King's approval (which would take months). There was also the quartering of soldiers in colonists homes against their will, having to provide them housing and food on their own dime. The British had a monopoly on the trade industry and forced the colonies to trade with companies that they gave the stamp of approval, such as the East India Trading company (which led to the Boston Tea Party). Then there was Lexington and Concord where the British demanded the colonists' arms to be handed over, sparking the beginning of the revolution. The forgotten truth though, is that a majority of the colonies did not want to separate from Britain, they just wanted more representation and more power in maintaining law and order in the colonies. They wanted fairer treatment. Their calls for such treatment were deemed treasonous to the crown, which led to the British sending over some 30,000 troops. All these things spiraled into the fight for independence which was not the original goal. I just wanted to clarify this for listeners because this is a common American Historical misnomer.

[@henryburby6077]

This is usually the way these things go. A minority rebels, an authority overreacts, a majority responds. They don't necessarily win, but they usually start fighting the authority because it took too firm a hand. Their awareness of their vulnerability ensures their unpopularity once they take the gloves off, out of paranoia.

[@vikramchatterjee4495]

Why is Nietzsche not the standard for mainstream society? My opinion is that he was too real for the mainstream.

[@tedjaeckel5623]

Great ideas. But his ideas are out of date at the time of this message
