Thank you so much Kotti Everdine, Professor Geuss, and Cambridge University. What an absolutely amazing opportunity to attend this lecture series from one of the top sources in the world. I learned so much and already see how my perspectives have broadened from just this 7-part series. I am extremely grateful to you all for making this content available and giving me a taste of Cambridge University.
Amen. I know it’s 5 years later but I am sitting here saying the same thing. What an opportunity we have! To be able to take this material in from these great minds. Amazing times we live in.
Thank you, Prof. Geuss and the channel organizer. The history of the interrelation between human mentality, morality, and religion unfolds in Nietzsche's untimely works. This inspiring video helps for the detailed and elaborate historical background of the eras before and after Nietzsche.
I've got kicked early from school because of some serious ADD problems.. But thanks to guys like Kotti Everdene i just can enjoy some cool lectures about Nietzsche!! Awesomeeeee thanks.
Can't you find your way back? I also had some problems with it but i got back to school few years later to get acces to universities and I don't regret any of the effort I put in. Social support is important though. In some cases therapy is also a good antidote to add. warm regards
Raymond Geuss was my professor for several terms, and not only did he live in Germany for years where he studied and taught, but he writes and publishes in German. So, it comes rather naturally to him to mix German (and several other languages) with English. And yes, of course, he reads Nietzsche in German.
MOST of Nietzsche’s books are VERY readable. People seem afraid of a string of difficult aphorisms; those are for the most part confined to Will To Power, which was more or less the work of his sister after he died. There is great enjoyment waiting for you in those books.
I think Human All Too Human is the best start, as it feels like (though I'm not very sure) it kind of introduces a lot of the ideas he presents in his more iconic works.
@@kristianj.8798 I'd start with Genealogy of Morals. It was the most accessible for me and has most of his big ideas. I absolutely love Thus Spoke Zarathustra but wouldn't recommend it until people have read a few other Nietzsche books first. I'd be completely lost if I started with that one first. It's pretty difficult.
You can easily read all about Nietzche yourself. All in Latin, XIX century German, all his critique and then make CZcams video for free. CZcams is not a boss of professor. Capitalistic state of mind - got full lecture on subject but didn't understood nothing because been said at the beginning that lecturer is tied.
First of all thank you very much for upload such magnificent lessons. If I'm not asking to much, could you please also upload the handouts. thanks a million!
Geuss is wrong in one respect: The Swiss revolution of 1848 (a liberal revolution) didn't fail. After a short civil war won by the Liberals modern democratic Switzerland was founded. That is why many Liberals from other european countries took refuge in Switzerland after the failed revolutions.
So good. I was dying when he kept going on and on about what an idiot diogenes laertius was hahaha. He used every synonym for moron to describe him hahaha
I think the first empire/realm was that of Charlemagne the second one was after german unification and I think we know what happened during the third realm
Lange was not a materialist. His book which Geuss refers to is The History of Materialism and a Critique of its Current State. It was three volumes, not two and Lange is not a materialist. Mystery is the leitmotif of his great book. The mind-body problem becomes the center point of metaphysics and mystery takes precedence over matter. Lange was brilliant and Nietzsche had read and studied his work more than once during his life.
Isn't it a bit wrong to call Nietzsche a romantic? Also, is it commenly agreed upon that Nietzsche probably didn't read many of the german idealists, like Kant and Hegel? He criticizes himself in "Ecce Homo" for being to "hegelian" in "The birth of tragedy"
There is no complete failure of revolutions in 1848 in central europe. The civil war in Switzerland brings about a liberal constitution. And Switzerland has been a democracy ever since.
What is strikingly absent from this excellent lecture is Rudolf Steiner's (18r64-1925) colossal contribution to Philosophy covering all these philosopher/wannabees including many others not mentioned in this show. All the problems of transcripts are cancelled in Steiner because he was a seer in the proper sense of the word so he's more than a philosopher much more !!! hence the massif body of practical work put out by him before he was poisoned. Nobody touches Steiner... Find him @ rsarchive.org/lectures
So according to this ever so notable old fellow philosophy is nothing more than the study of which subjective fantasy deluded the people the most in a given period until purely external circumstances produced a new fantasy. I know philosophy isnt as concrete and immediately self evident as the external sciences but I think its worth allowing for at least the POSSIBILITY that truth might exist and might not be a complete waste of time looking for. If you're watching this lecture cause you're searching for some kind of meaning in life good luck. If you're in higher education, it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.
To claim Nietzsche didn't read any Kant is a ridiculous assumption and lazy lecturing. This was late 19th century Europe not the dark ages and there were many copies of A Critique of Pure Reason floating around Nietzache might have read.
@@sweeneytod4734 most likely second hand points via Schopenhauer. I think kant was almost too popular(disseminated) for Nietzsche to need first hand reading
But he didn't read Kant or Hegel. His scant remarks on Kant and Hegel are without citation, his personal library possessed none of their works, and his library records from Basel show no check outs. What is your claim that he did read them based on? Nothing.
DragonZombie2000 it's not about me. it's about him. how is he not embarrassed to say that out loud?! and have it get recorded and posted on the internet for all eternity. jesus.
@@hvp69 didn't you listen to him carefully? He did say he already gave a full lecture but due to some problem for the tape. He have to do it again bit choose to make a summery. I like that he was honest and people can be tired and lazy from time to time💁♀️. No need to be embarrassed but here i wouldn't consider him as lazy.
I'm glad that I gave up on the absurdity of philosophy when I was in my twenties. I basically had to get off my duff & make a living. Die toten Deutshcen (die jennigen von wem er spricht) had nothing but time on their hands to sit and ponder endlessly. For the most part these great heroes of thought, lived off of others rather likes fleas on host animals. This speaker goes on endlessly sharing discordant facts which are ear marked by their complete lack of interest of any kind. This is fun stuff for atheists and other assorted pagans.
I would listen to this guy go through the whole history of western philosophy.
For someone that’s too tired, he has a lot of energy
These lecture series are so enriching. Thank you.

Best lecture series of Nietzsche on CZcams
I've got kicked early from school because of some serious ADD problems.. But thanks to guys like Kotti Everdene i just can enjoy some cool lectures about Nietzsche!! Awesomeeeee thanks.
***** Nietzsche helped my ADHD
Kevin Braid Nietzsche is dynamite :)))

These kind of things is the best thing about youtube!. Thanks for the upload!
I love how this guy is super proud of his command of German (and the occasional French word as well)
Understandably so, his pronunciation is quite on point tbh.
Yeah. I agree. Maybe he's even read Nietzsche in German. Then he'd really have something to be proud of

@@MacSmithVideo I’d say twilight of the idols is easily the best intro to nietzsche.
Very in-depth, thank you!
Thanks for uploading this series!
So, is this Raymond Geuss when he's tired?
Thank you! So helpful for my daughter. We have been going through different lectures and videos for weeks!
Yes
recovering from an operation, this is helping feed my brain - Thank you! would be interested to know what readings were required for these lectures
I love this guy! Good work, guy!
Excellent & impassioned pedagogy
Remarkable lectures, thanks
He should have waited until he wasn't tired and delivered the whole lecture!
Thanks for the lectures professor!
Very knowledgeable...thank you professors...
Imagine your boss being like can you redo that report and you're like nah Im tired Ill give you a summary.

First of all thank you very much for upload such magnificent lessons.

thanks a million!
Any clues on how to get notes? This is a fantastic series (as is Raymond Geuss)! Thanks for posting

@@SomebodyLikeXeo I'm looking for them too if anyone has them!
Thank you!
thanks a lot
Thank you
We're all around it but what's it all about - history, the philosophy of history, or histrionics?
Why could Nietzsche predict he would be so well received by Capital? if they loved Kant so much? treating people as ends in themselves?
Geuss is wrong in one respect: The Swiss revolution of 1848 (a liberal revolution) didn't fail. After a short civil war won by the Liberals modern democratic Switzerland was founded. That is why many Liberals from other european countries took refuge in Switzerland after the failed revolutions.
14:00min It would not be, because they had no interest in people developing critical skills? would that be a possibility?
thanks. very good.
Diogenes Laërtius gets slammed
i feel like camera operator was very much on disagreement of the lecturer - god can you please keep the camera still?
DEEP
So good. I was dying when he kept going on and on about what an idiot diogenes laertius was hahaha. He used every synonym for moron to describe him hahaha
Wow!!!!
What exactly does he mean by the second empire? Is that the France of Napoleon?
I think the first empire/realm was that of Charlemagne the second one was after german unification and I think we know what happened during the third realm
👍
I want this guy to show me graybles
Always sunny in Philadelphia... "I've grown quite whear-rah...
Take a nap and report back
Fucking rad.
He has an uncanny resemblance with Boris Johnson

+lethalbee Sorry to do it, but I have to correct you '*too "Hegelian"'
Kant wasn't an Idealist.
@@henrycrampton-hays1478 *transcendental idealist
Nietzsche scholars have shown he only read expositions of Kant and Hegel in secondary literature, I believe.
There is no complete failure of revolutions in 1848 in central europe. The civil war in Switzerland brings about a liberal constitution. And Switzerland has been a democracy ever since.
no one cares about Switzerland

prove it
Typical postmodern relativism
The stammering is annoying.
Oh, dear. He's "too tired" to present a full lecture. How very illuminating...and how extremely un-Nietzschean!
the damned irony, I nearly spit out my coffee. This whole video is like a comedy skit

he's just saying he probably didn't given the evidence, c'mon, give him a break
