Dr. Darren Staloff, Philosophies, Theories, and Interpretations of Human History

[@grippercrapper]

Ah yes, Dr. Staloff. The man of many philosophies and many faces.

[@rockycomet4587]

Wake up! He's a shapeshifter!

[@ryanw3658]

He’s a great study in fashions of the 90’s. Like watching Seinfeld with less pretentiousness.

[@anesu846]

😭😭

[@Brecf2p]

That makes him sound an academic villain.

[@JRC_86]

Please explain....

[@beauzeph]

42:30 - so much synchronicity from things that I've been hearing from neuroscientists and behavior scientists, Dr. Staloff ages like a fine wine, thank you

[@adityakunchur6209]

Darren Staloff's lectures are actually more abstruse than Michael Sugrue's lectures. He casually makes so many points that have an incredible amount of meaning in them. Each sentence is profound when you think about it. I had to pause the video so many times to absorb the content. Michael is more easy to follow because he emphasizes and explains his content better.

[@MichaelHattem]

He was my advisor at City College and it was exactly the same when having conversations with him.

[@ktuluflux]

These are all so great. Really fun to wind the day down with. Can’t wait for dr. Staloff’s next lecture (please let him have a Mohawk)

[@rockycomet4587]

I know. Most of the people I know head to the bar after work. I go get some food and listen to a lecture. I'm pretty weird.

Great lecture! The philosophy of history is endlessly fascinating!

[@caesarnemkin6698]

Very cool stuff! I hope that the rest of this series of lectures will be uploaded.

[@username1235400]

Dr. Starloff looking fresh 😎👌. Ty !

[@arizonaizedtea]

These are just getting better and better

[@duncanclarke]

I'm so stoked for the rest of the course if it ends up coming to this channel. This intro had me hooked.

[@samismx]

Incredibly exciting and motivating.

[@rini177]

i really like the way he teaches, i learn well from him

[@scottstruif3939]

Thanks. I read The Idea of History in 1975. I’ve lost that paperback copy, but see it’s available on Kindle for $10. I’ll re-read it in anticipation of the forthcoming lecture.

[@ArtDuomo]

Thanks!

[@voyagersa22]

Thank you for another great lecture ☝🏼✊🏻

[@michaelprenez-isbell8672]

I have the same question about the Allen Grossman lectures on poetry. Some of the best things they did occurred in the first batch under the leadership of Tom Rollins, the founder.

[@tylerbotzon7174]

Let’s see a Live Zoom with Dr. Sugrue and Dr. Staloff! 🙏

[@munguyikojeandamour]

Dr. you're good at philosophy of human history. if possible you may give us written document of this lectures.

[@robdavies4294]

blimey, what a conclusion - a very interesting take on post-modernism

[@poperaisin]

I love listening to the videos you’re uploading when I’m on my walk/jog. Your channel is a blessing to KZbin. Do you perhaps have one on Sartre? I’m currently reading The Transcendence of the Ego, i thought a little guidance would go a long way.

[@jason8434]

Have you seen the philosophy discussions by Bryan Magee. He has a series on modern philosophers, one of the episodes is about Heidegger, Sarte and existentialism. Also Rick Roderick did some great lectures, I think they were part of the same series as Dr. Staloff.

[@poperaisin]

@@jason8434 I did watch Bryan Magee, but I haven’t heard of Rick Roderick. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@TaxidermiedMessiah]

Everyone’s commenting “oh great lecture, thanks for uploading it” let’s not talk about the lecture itself!

[@kahekiliyung6956]

another amazing haircut from this guy

[@lordcoreon]

Excellent!

[@rileylaforge7640]

Any chance you guys can post the reading list for all these lectures and the course in general? Would love to read all the texts being referred to to gain more context. Thanks!

Look on my Substack

[@zeropointenergy777]

Wow Darren was ahead of the game with the line up

You stop taking responsibility for past events when you stop directly benefiting from past events.

“Shut up and take my money” This meme exemplifies perfectly my will in getting this entire course

[@ryans3001]

Thank You!

[@michaelprenez-isbell8672]

How the hell did the teaching company lose these guys?

[@christinemartin63]

What could be more enjoyable than literature, history, and ... oh yeah ... philosophy (the last to a much lesser degree IMHO).

The future is the past.

[@slushyslimshady]

@@sangwaraumo lol

[@sfxdlwsrs]

you can go further down the logic behind "meaning" as to question why did someone wanted to pass down such notion of morals and values, who's the author and public of such stories and how would their outcomes be beneficial or detrimental to a group or another

[@urielstud]

TY 🙏🏻

[@literature1621]

Hi dears. which course does this lecture belong to? Great Minds1, 2, 3? I see it nowhere

[@alcoholicnerd514]

The course is called The Search of a Meaningful Past: Philosophies, Theories, and Interpretations of Human History. It seems to become a rarity even the Teaching Company website lacks any info about it, maybe that's why it's being published at professor Sugrue's channel.

[@literature1621]

@@alcoholicnerd514 Well I bought the full catalogue of all of the 700 courses of the teaching company. so I have the course, but you're right. Staloff is like his colleague Sugrue. phenomena

Why?

[@ManInTheBigHat]

My sister gave me cassette tapes of this guy and others in a huge collection of Western Civ. If things at University continue as they are these tapes will be contraband soon.

[@izzya2702]

At what age can one become a major in history and philosophy; I'm sort of late. Dear lord, I've always had a heart for this but people around me want me to get a money wise career.

Hard to think the Chinese don't see themselves in a historical way. It's not unique to Europeans

[@Mai-Gninwod]

Well they had a cyclical conception of history, which is different from the march toward progress history of the west
