Over on Patreon, I just uploaded a 1 hour 38 minute conversation with @untimelyreflections of The Nietzsche Podcast, discussing Wagner's Parsifal, the influence of Schopenhauer's philosophy, and Nietzsche's critique of Wagner.
Worth a look - your support is greatly appreciated, and there is a ton of other exclusive material on Patreon too, like a previous 2 hour conversation we had, plus some in-depth videos on Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and some Goethe.

In case you don't know - we're on Patreon, and just released a 23 minute video analyzing Schopenhauer's reception in fin de siècle France, talking about his influence on literary movements like Romanticism, Symbolism, Décadence, and how Naturalism and Realism came about as a reaction to that.
This video also analyzes Guy de Maupassant's forgotten short story in which Arthur Schopenhauer plays quite a macabre role...
This is a full video of 23 minutes that wouldn't do well on YouTube so it became a Patreon exclusive. For $10 a month you can watch it and a dozen other videos, often dealing with subject matter too spicy for YouTube.
There's a $3 tier too which has audio-only book reviews and poetry analyses.

Show some love (likes, comments) to our latest video! It's a departure from our usual content (although I hope you'll enjoy the discussion on Kafka) so the algorithm will probably punish it. watch video on watch page

Dr. Michael Sugrue has died. A great teacher and charismatic speaker. His lectures on YouTube are well worth checking out.
May he rest in peace.
