What students love
“Brutal that he passed away before revealing the arcane aspects of the Republic he hinted at. Mourning a deep loss for the unique insights we will no longer receive. What a beacon of wisdom.”

“I am sorrowful that Doc has left us today and that his plan to analyze Plato's Republic throughout the year did not come to fruition. Still deeply appreciative of all he has left us with.”

“Hello from Athens, Dr. Sugrue. Overlooking the Acropolis and thinking of you, as Socrates was making his way before being arrested. Be well, sir. And Merry Christmas.”

“Mike, my daughter is 8. I'll make sure that one day she sees this video and many more, and knows the context. I appreciate you still sharing your talents despite your health. You will be remembered.”

“Thank you Dr. for your work. As a formerly disillusioned humanities grad, I still gravitate to this sort of deep, striking content and really enjoy everything you post here.”

“I’m still not over the death of Dr. Mike. He was one of the greatest thinkers and lecturers of our time, embodying a Greek tragedy, working right up to the end, never complaining.”

“I love it how he quotes Hippocrates without taking credit for it - 'Art is long and life is short'. What a genius is Michael Sugrue.”

“What a man. Genevieve, if you are reading this: thank you and your father. You knew he was special and gratefully you chose to share him with the world, what a good call that was.”

What could be better
“It's been about a year since Professor Sugrue's passing. I just had to come back and make sure I wasn't imagining things... Sugrue just had to die on BOOK 4 OF PLATO? You serious?”

“I sure wish Michael Sugrue's first 10 pages of the history of the world weren't hidden behind a paywall. Typical.”

“What the hell is with the voice-over?!”
“This was among my favorite lectures of his. Came back to rewatch but I just can’t with it audio dubbed over. Very disappointed.”
“Damn, so did Prof. Sugrue never get to his criticism of those recent books that he mentions at the end of the video? What a shame, if so.”
