These lectures are from the same "Great Minds" series produced by The Teaching Company and are delivered by an equally learned lecturer. We hope you will enjoy, and thank you to Dr. Staloff for joining us on this channel.

Being late to one of these premieres feels like being late to class. Thank you for continuing to post these lectures.

[@Tnerb225]

Please post more staloff lectures

[@Mrkostaszx]

If class was like this nobody would ever be late.

[@erastusnghishoono8586]

[@aggelosvasilis7457]

I got addicted to this channel!!! With this channel i get a weird feeling of motivation to read all this thinkers , a feeling which i never had before!! Thanks Professor.

[@adriancruz2822]

So glad we are getting Dr. Staloff’s lectures as well. Can’t wait for more of them!

[@gergokadar9560]

Thank you very much for sharing these lectures with us for free.

Honey wake up Dr. Sugure posted

[@lawyerrick]

The Teaching Company upgraded its audiovisual equipment as time passed. But they never reached the same level of teaching that we had with Dr. Segrue and Staloff. How could they? This was the first courses I bought 30+ years ago. It’s still one of my favorites. It’s amazing to watch Segrue lecture with no notes. A true intellectual and teacher’s teacher. Thanks for posting this with Staloff. Equally superb.

[@logicandreason5295]

where can we get the full lecture please Dr. Segrue and Staloff. ?

[@joshuarichter3558]

OMG MORE LECTURES PLEASE IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. IF YOU HAVE DR. STALOFF'S LECTURE ON TRANSCENDENTAL IDEALISM I WILL BE FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT DR. SUGRUE.

[@carlschafer7416]

Here he is! Mike has mentioned him so often in his lectures. I had pictured an old dude though:D

[@EmmaUgoh]

Always thought he was an older professor

[@cotedubois]

I work as a civil servant and I can say Webers' work is still very relevant

[@rustyshackleford8724]

Thank you all for your efforts. These videos have given me philosophical insight that I wouldn't have had access to otherwise.

[@sullensoven]

Time for season 2! Appreciate your contribution to making education public and more accessible. These lectures are not taken for granted. :)

[@dianemcm7462]

So appreciate your content. Gratitude!

[@nobodynowhere7163]

Great lecture! Dr Staloff makes sociology so interesting and, amazingly, so appropriate in today’s world. Every single high school student should hear this lecture!

[@lordcoreon]

Thanks for posting! Hopefully there are more on the way!

[@jacquelinewolf-xw8cs]

I am grateful for this top-of-the-line opportunity to broaden my scope. Thank you.

[@jmjiphone]

I’ve listened to this professor on The Great Courses. His voice and intelligence is so specific.

[@smetal22]

After this lecture he gigs in a grindcore band as drummer. Props.

[@marcokite]

and let's be honest they'd be plenty of groupies keen on discussing philosophy with this guy...as it were

[@ParagonOfSurvival]

So we are finally going to get the chance to watch the lectures by Professor Stalloff we have heard so much about. Bless you!

[@PreludeDude]

This is my favorite thing to spend KZbin time listening to, glad to have KZbin premium for no ads!

[@shiangjeoushyu8586]

Thank you so much for uploading this lecture--- open university at its best!

[@joematthews2446]

I've been enjoying all of these so much, and now a new upload! Great way to spend a cold icy day with some coffee.

[@DJ_Frankfurter]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful lectures! They are always a treat

[@neilold3941]

I've always loved Dr. Sugrue's course on Plato (part of that course can be found on this channel), from the Great Courses many years ago, and have enjoyed watching these lectures that he has released on this channel. If he is now going to team up with Dr. Staloff I am looking forward to seeing another group of lectures I've never seen before. I've seen Dr. Staloff in a few lectures from the Great Courses and he is an excellent educator, as is Dr. Sugrue's. They make a great team. Thanks for bringing your knowledge to us. If there is any way of releasing the entire course on Plato that Dr. Sugrue gave on the teaching company I know it will give people an opportunity to fall in love with the works of Plato. It is my favorite course of all time!

[@nathangriffiths2851]

Thank you Sir you got me into reading Plato and i have read the republic twice and most other dialogues with the laws being currently read.

[@ArtMoran]

Excellent delivery, loving these lectures!

[@Ananya965]

This is the Gold level content on youtube

[@nightoftheworld]

Yes KZbin university is actual through content like this

[@voyagersa22]

Great stuff thanks. Not only prof sugrue is wise he has good friends. This new chap is very good too 🙏🏼👋🏼👋🏼🎵

[@ME-ud5fo]

Thank you for doing this. You were my favorite lecturer on the Great Courses, maybe together with Robert Solomon and Dennis Dalton. But I also liked Darren Staloffs approch on Gouldner.

[@bosshog5335]

Thank you for posting. I listen to every one of the lectures posted here.

Always enjoy these lectures.

[@EliteBuildingCompany]

Excellent lecture, cheers.

[@cubeincubes]

I wish a community existed where instead of following exhaustive loop cycles of religion people could actually discuss openly their experiences with objective reality. The closest thing is an AA meeting and a questionable, questioning group they are indeed.

[@gooch2215]

thank you!

I have this course on cassette tape. 👍 Love the hair!

Agree with all the comments I’m glad your posting again gotta make sure I’m subscribed just thought about you yesterday

[@pavelclaudiucristianstate6988]

More,more, more, please

[@walterschutjens8467]

This is SICK

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

Wow. I find myself transported back to when I would find two words stuck together like "charismatic authority" and wanting to spend all day contemplating ie; writing about that. Brother Cornell West once made a call for his black brethren to join together behind the charismatic authority of Jesus Christ. I as a white atheist feel good about calling him brother and think this call stands for the true good of Christianity.

[@sanduceroable]

Great lecture, my seventh full play, maybe. A comparative lecture about Confucius would illuminate the western-eastern approaches to authority and bureaucratic structures. China in my opinion is CCCC or Confucian-Communist-Capitalist-China. In the west we are more Confused than Confucians.

[@ryanoloan4417]

Thanks

[@logicandreason5295]

love love this channeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. please post more

[@S2Cents]

Ooo nice. More from this guy and other old school Teach Co vids!

[@AishwaryaPratimRabha]

thank you

[@gwenseamstress5076]

I propose to arrange all the existent videos into playlists, half of them are not!

[@walterschutjens8467]

Is this live?

[@greyasday]

Does anyone know of a way to write an email or letter to Dr. Sugrue? I started watching this channel a few months ago enjoying the 'Great Minds' lectures as a way to stimulate my mind a little bit through out the day. Recently I started watching the 'The Bible and Western Culture' lectures and now have an even deeper appreciation for Dr. Sugrue's balanced and almost seemingly unbiased viewpoints (which almost seems hard to believe). I don't want to engage in any discussion because I think his lectures are extraordinarily engaging enough haha but simply thank him for publishing these lectures on KZbin because they are so deep and so well thought through while simultaneously true to the point.

[@ChopinIsMyBestFriend]

RIGHT HERE FOR IT BABY

[@craigtunnicliffe9095]

awesome

[@sanduceroable]

Charismatic authority is the Idol of the Tribe played by Francis Bacon & Idols of the Mind.

[@medvezhonok6344]

hell yeah sugrue gang is back

[@pocket83squared]

If I may, I would like to offer one small piece of criticism. Content like this only seems timeless at the time. Though the delivery may be as well-executed as is possible, after enough time has passed, new ways of seeing the world end up forcing it into the context of its period. As such, for the sake of its remaining a solid informational resource, it would be prudent to add the date of the recording to the video's description. Great content. Thanks.

[@NothingHumanisAlientoMe]

Man the Lead Singer of Pearl Jam knows his stuff.

So good, so choice...

I was wondering when Staloff was going to make his entrance.

[@logicandreason5295]

more ,,more ,,more,,more,more

[@alexander3819]

Back on the uploads!

[@mannspiderr1493]

I know that Prof. Sugrue has a wonderful Substack, but does he have any place where we could find any research of his (journal articles, books, etc.)? I’ve looked as I would love to read his research, but I can’t seem to find any.

[@audiobibliotekara]

Max the great.

[@bartholomewlyons]

Live from 1985 right now?

[@mahmuthavai]

Remarkable

[@nononouh]

Is this an older edition of the greatminds series? I didn't hear sugrue in an audiobook of the series.

[@strider6294]

It's the first edition of Great Minds

[@ReasonForYouRLife]

nice !

[@richarddodson560]

I’m only about 2/3 of the way through-but how would Dr. Sugrue classify the Trump presidency according to Weber. Seems like a mix of bureaucratic and charismatic leadership.

[@dionysianapollomarx]

It might be better to have a moderator for live chats

[@thanrl]

Are you going to upload the entire second edition?

[@biniamabrha191]

Posted on daily bases dear .........don't wait a year

[@nontology]

this guy does a decent sugrue impression

[@jmanj0sh]

I'm a sociology undergrad in my final year, and, saying this apolitically, I'm a little bummed weber is so underrepresented in my contemporary social theory class. I had to read the communist manifesto (Marx), articles on cultural hegemony (Gramsci), Anarchy/Anarcho-syndicalism (Chomsky/Goldman), and Intersectionality (Davis). Want to know the real joke? My program is called 'critical' sociology. In what way is only having marxist-conflict theorists in the curriculum for, not just this course, but a majority of sociology classes where theory gets talked about, an education on critical thinking ('theorizing')? and how the hell are the only good sociology lectures on youtube

[@pocket83squared]

It does seem odd that he's been displaced, but consider the following perspective. Not to bubble-burst, but I'll remind you that you're there for a stamp of legitimacy. Given the vast nature of the topic, every curriculum is going to be inherently limited. In mass media, the problem becomes one of framing, which is to ask: _which parts will together convey, or at least suggest, the complete story?_ To any journalist with concern, it's a conundrum. Thus, the onus rests on the individual to develop her more complete, and/or conceptual, understanding. From the standpoint of personal discovery, the insight gained from a college experience can be a real let-down. It seems so romantic at first-so enlightening-until the disillusion starts to set in with the realization that we've purchased a high-demand and therefore overpriced consumer product. Ironically, this tragedy itself can become its own unique part of one's development. I mean, seriously, let's do think critically: how can we expect _anything_ to confer upon us critical thinking skill? Discussions of Positive & Negative Liberty (and freewill) notwithstanding, the responsibility remains totally, necessarily ours; we're stuck in our own heads. As for Weber: maybe the lack of mention came as a result of those more contemporary, fancy-pants theorists who're always pushing back the out-of-vogue, often slightly coarse, classics. You know, loss of forest for the trees. My own first exposure was during a philosophy/sociology crossover course, so you might want to poke around in some of the more philosophical hallways if you're still interested. The guy was/is a major player, so one of your local professors _should_ still be fixated on him. This assuming you still have an open spot left in your last year. Good luck.

[@fredwelf8650]

Weber is underrepresented in sociology, similarly Bourdieu and Chomsky. The Frankfurt Sociologists were Neo-Weberian. Look at Habermas' 1981 "Theory of Communicative Action" where Weber and Parsons are discussed in detail. Where Marx addresses economics, Weber addresses politics, especially authority. Authority is a key idea in Organizational Psychology, especially at the Rice Institute.
