Kierkegaard's Christian Existentialism

Im going to tell my children this is Jordan Peterson

Thank you professor. May you rest in peace and in the comfort of eternal gratitude, as we are so very thankful for the work. It's my understanding that Sugrue was a fan of Kierkegaard, and if it wasn't for his enthusiasm I would have never made the big steps of going back and reading the source materials for myself. The professor truly inspired me, and it will never be forgotten. Michael Sugrue, I know your body has lost its flame of life, but the light and warmth of your teachings will live on for many many moons to come. Thank you. You will not be forgotten ❤

This professor is as cool as the other side of the pillow. His presentations are smooth, articulate, no um’s, no notes. I admire his style and respect his knowledge of the subject. Nicely achieved! 👍

No fancy lighting, no elaborate editing, just pure brilliance and erudition. Thank you Mr Michael, we owe you a lot.

Can these lectures even get any better? Bravo!

A gift to humanity, rest in peace , your light will guide us forward!

That part on boredom really hit me to my inner core.

My University doesn't offer a philosophy course, so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when the algorithm suggested this channel to me. Brilliant lectures, looks like I can take a philosophy course after all!

What an icon. How I wish I'd had such passionate teachers growing up.

This has to be one of the best lectures ever. This guy has a real talent. His pace is perfect, his deliverance is smooth. He strips the profound questions bare naked so we all can see what terribly tough choices we face.

I hope your father is doing well. I revisit these lectures often, they are on e pedestal above all others, Professor Sugrue explains in a way that connects directly to anyone. This is education at its finest.

I've never heard for kierkegaard before, but he literally wrote down everything ive been thinking for the past 4 years

Youtube doesnt deserve content this good.

Professor Sugrue is definitely one our best. Soren Kierkegaard. This is priceless. "Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom." Soren Kierkegaard

If a brilliant scriptwriter wrote a script and format for these lectures to follow, Sugrue's own phenomenal lecture would make it seem trite. Sugrue, moves seamlessly from not just topic to topic, but, from paragraph to paragraph like a VERY well written book. This, is what blows my mind about this guy.

This man is MAGNIFICENT! I love these lectures... Respect and Gratitude from the UK.

WOW! I didn't notice any monitors or crib notes. Who can speak on such a subject so thoroughly for 40+ minutes? Amazing! Superb!

Thank you for making Kierkegaard understandable to this layperson.

As an aesthetic man, I really enjoyed the intellectual pleasure I received from watching this video.

I listened to these lectures years ago and loved them. I am awestruck to find them again. Sugrue is so clear and articulate. He can break down some of the most complex philosophical ideas in a way that any intelligent person can understand.
