Goethe's Faust - Michael Sugrue on the Worldly Gospel, German Romanticism, Intellect and Theology, Mephistopheles and the Spirit of Negation, Gretchen's Eternal Feminine, and Last Minute Salvation
About this episode
History of Philosophy Audio Archive, Episode #177
I have always loved Michael Sugrue, and I will never stop posting his talks. RIP to a legend (1957-2024). Always been curious about Goethe’s Faust (Parts I and II) and thought this was serve a good introduction. If looking for a physical copy, I have heard that the scholarly, complete, Princeton edition is really good.
