for the past 2 months, i have systematically been going through as many lectures as possible, revising each lecture, pen and paper, familiarising myself with all the topics of philosophy which ive always wanted to learn, but never knew where to start from, then buying the books that had been discussed or recommended. These lectures have dramatically improved my life in quite a dark time for me, so thank you for publishing these.

This video gave me the best of all possible depressions

Dr. Sugrue's videos completely changed my life. Thank you for sharing these astonishing lectures with the world.

Most video series on YouTube, when paired to a particular personality, are laden with strict adherence to a motive. I can’t begin to explain how refreshing it is to hear of one perfectly described viewpoint, immediately followed by another that seems to contradict it. A celebration of intellects without presupposition.

I literally typed Voltaire Candide in the search bar along with Dr Sugrue and hoped/prayed for just ONE video to flash up in the search results matching it and here it is! A MILLION THANKS Dr Sugrue

I remember reading Candid when I was in my final year of highschool. Although many of the philosophical undertones eluded me at the time, it still left an impression on me that compelled me to study history and philosophy at university. Watching these lectures are returning me to that original impetus and wonder of European culture once again. Rest easy Dr ❤

I have found, in my life, the work done that has motivated me to study our society's history, so I can be of better use for it in the future. Sharing these was one of the greatest things you have done. Bravo!
