Professor Wolff , you are the most prolific teacher I have ever come across. Please don't ever retire. Im 80 years old.
-
This is the first time I understand what "dialectical materialism" is. Great explanation and examples! Thank you, Proff Wolff.
-
Never heard from it explained this way before. Dialectical materialism has so far been a hard concept to grasp.
-
Wow! It takes a lot of talent to communicate big ideas in such a straightforward way. With gratitude, Prof. Wolff.
-
Prof Wolff is truly the GOAT, explains things simply and eloquently. no need for any extra fluff
-
I think Mr Richard wolff must write a book on dialectics and historical materialism cause his explanation contains the real essence of it and also a simplicity in explaining things.
-
🙏 Professor Wolff, the 5 minute I spent on this video was more productive than reading many books on the subject.
-
whenever i listen to you i feel the absence of a teacher like you here in our country , india
-
Wow! What a great and profound response to a very equally great question. Prof Wolf, you have connected the dots for me between these two ideas. Very much a yin (materialism) and a yang (idealism/spirituality) aspects of life!
-
I've been trying to really understand Dialectical Materialism for months now, and finally I did. You've broken it down in a way that even someone like me could make sense. Thank you so much!
-
I was stoned when I listened to this, so this episode hit especially hard when I listened to it.
-
Having had it broken down this clearly, I’m nearly wondering why I was struggling to grasp this before. Thank you.
-
I love the way he disect and get to the subject matter. Very intelligent and informative.
-
I get better educated from Prof. Wolf’s YouTube videos than I get from all of my other sources of online information combined. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos and educate us in such a clear, concise and easy to understand fashion (especially for those of us who aren’t at all familiar with these topics).
-
Superb explanation! Thanks Prof.Wolff
-
If you want to understand these terms, then read Joseph Stalin's pamphlet by the same name "Dialectical and Historical Materialism." He quite succinctly lays it all out and defines it so that the layman can understand it.
-
That was the most precise and simple explanation I have ever seen , thanks professor
-
Professor, Could you please talk about the works of Murray Bookchin and your opinion of him if possible? And your opinion of the rise in cooperatives in the European Union
-
I’ve never watched a person explaining this intricate aspect of history and philosophy, then this respected intellectual.
-
Astute explanation as usual sir! It is wonderful to have the lecture time of such a learned person available to a proletariat like myself! Professor Wolf is changing the world one mind at a time.
