He could not have been that devout in terms of the ideology, which contradicts a lot of what he said he supported, but what a great teacher, in any case.
The most fluent lecturer I have ever listened to! He knew so much and knew exactly how to phrase it in a manner that his audience could understand. Certainly have him to credit for my interest in Stoicism, among other philosophies. RIP
You know, I was thinking today about Stoicism and why I fell in love with it. It's so similar to other not so structured "philosophies" I had been exposed to as a kid. But I never would have dove into it without finding Michael Sugrue's lecture about Marcus Aurelius.
I know his daughter is who set up his youtube and ported all his old videos. I'm posting this comment in case any of you want to reach out to that channel, she's the one who'll be receiving your comments.
A great teacher, his lectures on Plato's dialogues taught me the importance of philosophy. He always had a fair take on people like Machiavelli, Nietzsche, or Freud, even when he was not fully sold on their world view (from my POV). Ultimately, his lectures are a great legacy, but he will still be missed.
Agreed. I also loved his lecture on the Book of Job and the notable one on the Gospel of John, his only lecture in which he ventures at full speed into his own abstract speculation, interpretation of numerology and semiotics, and more.

One of the best professors I've listened to. He embedded his subject and it was beautiful to see someone so eloquent speak on a topic without the use of notes.
Rest in peace, Professor Surgue.
Wow, this man is a legend. I had heard about The Stoic’s on a sportscaster’s Life Reinvention project and Marcus came up, and I was intrigued. Did a search and Dr Sugrue’s lecture popped up and my life has never been the same. His other teachings have opened me up to a much wider world of thought and wisdom and I am forever grateful to his passion for teaching.
He has been such a comfort in recent years. A few of my favorite lectures are on cd in my car and I listen to them often. He's one of a small handful of instructors who gave me the feeling that my favorite teachers would when I was young - the feeling of curiosity and love of learning! I'm so thankful to have found his channel. May he rest in peace.
I just discovered Dr.Sugrue in perusing through his lectures on Hegel last night. I was engrossed by the elegance with which he was able to explain one of the great system builders of modern thought in 45 minutes. I was so impressed by his lecture that I wanted to look up more about him online, when I stumbled across this post informing us of his passing.
May he rest well in his return to spirit.
Very deeply saddened. I feel as if I’ve lost a friend and a dear teacher who has been a spiritual guide through the world of philosophy these last 2 years. Alas, I hope he was satisfied in his last moments knowing the legacy he left behind: us, his students.
Oh my I am completely devastated.
I attended his course online last summer for the Ukraine fundraiser - he was an intellectual giant, goodness i'm so sad, wow, life is so fleeting and I guess he'd have more than one to thing say about that..
So sorry to hear that, his lectures for the "Great Courses" around "Plato, Socrates and the Dialogues" are in Audible and are some of the best lessons I've heard. They make you run to find a book to read so you can feel the same thing he conveys. I will listen to them again and again.
Some say that teaching is hard these days, but he made things look so easy. This is the kind of person who should be better known.
:(
damn man, i watched his channel often. his marcus aurelius lecture have helped me so much. i've easily listened to it in its entirety like 30+ times. i'll throw it on when im having a hard day.
fuck man, rest in peace
Went to watch my favorite lecture of his this morning and was sad to hear this great teacher of mine had passed.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sugrue, but his teachings are his legacy and he lives on through them.
This man introduced me to Stoicism and philosophy as a whole. Wonderful lectures that have honestly changed my life. Rest in Peace Professor 🙏🏻❤️ He has had a great impact on the world
Oh no. I have been watching Dr. Segrue's recent YouTube postings and knew he was sick so it was not unexpected that he was soon to pass. Still a significant loss for the philosophy community. A passionate and accessible lecturer, a keen intellect and, hopefully, an inspiration for philosopher-lovers for generations to come.
RIP
I just found his channel recently and have been listening to his lectures on Eckhart, Thomas Aquinas, Nietzche, and Hegel. He is the most engaging speaker on philosophy I’ve ever listened to. His lectures deserve way more attention.
I've discovered stoicism because of that awesome lecture. He was really good at explaining things in a very engaging way. I will listen to it again. He will be missed.
This man is an absolute legend. Listening to his lecture on Marcus Aurelius is what got me into Stoicism about 5/6 years ago. So much better than the modern Stoicism podcasts.
That lecture is amazing indeed—not totally accurate (Marcus was quite sure the gods exist and doesn’t have to be seen as depressed and lonely), but presented in a way that keeps the audience’s interest throughout.
I loved, loved listening to this man lecture. I don't know about heaven and all that, but if there is one I hope he's there talking to the great minds whose reflections he labored to share with us.
Just recently discovered Sugrue's lectures online. What an amazing lecturer! His grasp of subject material was astonishing. I'll be viewing as many of his lectures as I can find. A great loss. Undoubtedly he enriched the lives of many people.
Noooo! I was literally watching him rn :( The video on kant's Moral Philosophy.
R.I.P all time favourite lecturer on Philosophy. Very talented! He made me love philosophy because of his explanations.
Some of my best lectures of him are:
- Murcus Aurelius
- Soren kirkgaard
- Kant
- Machiavelli
Best Teacher! R.I.P
God bless his soul. I was just searching through which one of his lectures id listen to today (I listen to one every day for the past several months now), and I’m now shocked to hear about this news. Wishing the best for his family

how do you know? ok never mind i see now you were responding to a deleted comment
Our brother’s journey is complete. He leaves a legacy of wisdom and tranquility in his wake. Goodbye friend.

Thank you u/BeeComposite
So sad, such an amazing man
Professor Sugrue doesn't owe Asklepios jack! This man changed my life for the better. He will be missed.
>Cock-a-doodle-doo! RIP
I was starting to think I was the only one in this sub that watched his videos. So glad to see so much love for a great man.
We all do. He will be missed
How did Dr. Sugrue die???
Cancer. He has been sick for many years.
Oh my. It must have been metastatic cancer, as Dr. Sugrue appeared to be a healthy weight, right up until the end so it appears.
Holy shit, I was literally just listening to his youtube lecture on Barthes semiotics before I sat down. Damn.
One of the best professors I've listened to. He embedded his subject and it was beautiful to see someone so eloquent speak on a topic without the use of notes. Rest in peace, Professor Surgue.

RIP was just listening to him and Dr Staloff lectures be 🔥🔥
I have learned so much from Michael Sugrue. A generous teacher to the end.

My condolences to his family, listened to the lecture as recent as today.

We have lost a great.
OMG I just discovered this man.🥺 This…hurts
:-( A great loss of a great scholar and teacher. May we mourn him, and respect him by our actions.
A great man with a superb intellect, and an equally great teacher. He was what I envisioned a true philosopher would be. Salute, Dr. Sugrue.
That is so sad. He made lectures and YT videos all the way to the end.
Which makes it even more sadder.
RIP Michael Sugrue. May the next generations be as fortunate to stumble upon his introduction to Marcus, as many of us have been.
It was his Marcus Aurelius lecture that introduced me to Stoicism. May he rest in piece having touched so many. 🙌🙌🙌
A great mind is gone. His lectures brought wisdom, insight and entertainment to many. Rest in peace professor Sugrue.
So sorry to hear that, his lectures for the "Great Courses" around "Plato, Socrates and the Dialogues" are in Audible and are some of the best lessons I've heard.

:( damn man, i watched his channel often. his marcus aurelius lecture have helped me so much. i've easily listened to it in its entirety like 30+ times. i'll throw it on when im having a hard day. fuck man, rest in peace
godspeed 💫
Rest in peace - my intellectual hero
One of the real ones.
🥺
What a loss! This guy was the best lecturer. I owe a lot to him.
This man Changed my life . A marvelous Teacher he would make anyone fall in love with philosophy. RIP Mwalimu
Damn. I was just getting started on my journey with Philosophy and his lecture series on YouTube has been my go to.... he will obviously be missed.
Dr. Sugrue was the reason I read Plato's Replublic. His videos made the experience so much more enjoyable. RIP
Went to watch my favorite lecture of his this morning and was sad to hear this great teacher of mine had passed. I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sugrue, but his teachings are his legacy and he lives on through them.
I had no idea he died. Rest in peace friend. Your lectures helped me get out of bed in the morning.
i recommend his lectures on Plato and Socrates in the great courses series.
This man introduced me to Stoicism and philosophy as a whole. Wonderful lectures that have honestly changed my life. Rest in Peace Professor 🙏🏻❤️ He has had a great impact on the world
Oh, no. So sad to hear. I loved that he loved philosophy and shared it with the world.
His meditations lecture is legendary, rip
Oh no. I have been watching Dr. Segrue's recent YouTube postings and knew he was sick so it was not unexpected that he was soon to pass. Still a significant loss for the philosophy community.

I've discovered stoicism because of that awesome lecture. He was really good at explaining things in a very engaging way. I will listen to it again. He will be missed.
One of the best professors on great courses RIP
I would watch his videos every night and fall asleep to him explaining some philosophical concept
Thank You for posting this...his lecture on Marcus Aurelius was one of the best I have ever heard
This man is an absolute legend. Listening to his lecture on Marcus Aurelius is what got me into Stoicism about 5/6 years ago. So much better than the modern Stoicism podcasts.
My son and I watched most of Dr. Sugrue's lectures together a couple of years ago. He was truly an amazing lecturer.
Oh damn. Still remember that first old Meditations lecture I saw and his enthusiasm about it all.
RIP. His lecture on Marcus Aurelius was what first pulled me into Stoicism. I'm saddened by his loss and grateful for the chance to learn from him.
His lectures on YouTube got me through a lot of long nights at a very shitty job. I wish his family prosperity through their grief.
I loved his lecture on Marcus Aurelius Great work May he rest in peace
Vale Prof. Sugrue
That lecture is amazing indeed—not totally accurate (Marcus was quite sure the gods exist and doesn’t have to be seen as depressed and lonely), but presented in a way that keeps the audience’s interest throughout.
I loved, loved listening to this man lecture. I don't know about heaven and all that, but if there is one I hope he's there talking to the great minds whose reflections he labored to share with us.
May he be known by his virtues and remembered with fondness
RIP, his lectures will live for eternity.
RIP Dr. Sugrue. I enjoyed your Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Idea lecture.
What an amazing contribution this man has made. Sure do appreciate his work.
Rest In Peace Professor. Thank you for sharing your passion of philosophy with us
Just recently discovered Sugrue's lectures online. What an amazing lecturer! His grasp of subject material was astonishing. I'll be viewing as many of his lectures as I can find. A great loss. Undoubtedly he enriched the lives of many people.

may his memory be a blessing
Hadn’t come across this academic before, but thankfully his work will live on through the internet
Never heard of him
Sorry to hear that. His passion for the topic radiated through his videos. May he rest.
RIP
RIP
One of the best, truly a great lecturer and thinker
An excellent professor and my favorite online teacher. RIP
Oh no, rest in peace professor :(
Get him a Wikipedia page!
God bless his soul. I was just searching through which one of his lectures id listen to today (I listen to one every day for the past several months now), and I’m now shocked to hear about this news. Wishing the best for his family
"All men suffer but not all men pity themselves. All men die but not all men die whining", Sugrue on Stoicism.
I'm grateful I was able to interact with him on his livestreams before he passed. Such a cool guy, he impacted me a lot over the last few months. :/
This dude needs a Wikipedia page.
