Should be studying for my physics and calculus exams next week, yet here I am.

The camera going out of focus at 6:53 after he talks about perception is a neat little coincidence.

This is lecturing as it OUGHT TO BE!

I need a cigarette !

That squeaky chair is driving me insane

I am not even planning to take this course but the lecturer is passionate when teaching in front. It makes me want to learn anything what he is teaching ☺

'What is the first thing people do when they become friends?
What is the first thing, when romantic relationship starts?
What people do?
They feed the other person, right? You go out to dinner or something like that.
Feeding someone is an important way of taking care of establishing a certain kind of relationship.'

I never thought about that! Thanks!

Easily two of the most interesting & seminal minds of the 19th & 20th Centuries. To understand their motives and thought is to understand modern man to a very large degree.

At first, I was surprised at the depth of his discussion and how much he expected the class to comprehend. Later, I realized this was recorded in 2013. How far we've come.

I wish I was in this class. Fascinating lecture.

Very interesting. Love Dostoevsky.

Excellent commentary which brings the complex philosophies to a much simpler level.

Very impressive tour de force. Having read and read about all three authors extensively ( in a dilettants fashion ... ) I was more than delighted to stumble on to this enlightening lecture. Lucky students you are at the university of texas in austin.

You do an amazing job of engaging your class.

A lecturer who cares. It's such a rare thing.

Good teaching, something to learn with him. Thanks!

Your lectures are like being at the cinema

He reminds me of 'Kryten' from the UK series RedDwarf, vocally and some mannerisms. It made me smile all the more at this engaging lecture.

Thank you for posting these lectures online. I really enjoy Beonevac's lecturing style, he's engaging and passionate.

How are there no comments on this?  This guy is amazing!  His teaching style is inspiring.  I like the part where he begins to touch on the Spanish Inquisition, and how it's a depressing topic, and he tries to channel his class from a bleak emotional reaction to his lecture into a more upbeat and positive reaction with his Monty Python spoof on the Spanish Inquisition.  I wish I could take this class in 3-D.
