It focuses on his argument for God's existence in ch. 1, in which he argues to the existence of a supreme good. I also briefly discuss the short chapter 2, which has to do with supreme greatness.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and critic, Giles Deleuze's essay,"Bartleby, Or The Formula", found in his Essays Critical and Clinical. Deleuze's essay examines Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby The Scrivner".

This lecture focuses specifically on Deleuze's discussion of Pragmatism as a distinctively American (but not stereotypically American) perspective. He ties his notion of Pragmatism not just to philosophy but also to literature, and reads it back into Trancendentalists

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and critic, Giles Deleuze's essay,"Bartleby, Or The Formula", found in his Essays Critical and Clinical. Deleuze's essay examines Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby The Scrivner".

This lecture focuses specifically on what Deleuze calls "Melvillian psychiatry" in the essay, distinguishing three main types of characters Melville's works center upon - demoniacal monomaniacs, angelic hypochondriacs, and "prophets" who witness to them as they try to enforce the law. Deleuze also discusses two different dynamics of identification, one which he associates with neuroses and narcissism, the other of which he associates with psychosis and schizophrenia.

This lecture focuses specifically on the notions of primary and secondary nature Deleuze makes central to interpretation of Melville, which then bears upon the three main types of characters: demonic megalomaniacs (Ahab, Clagart), angelic hypochondriacs (Bartleby, Billy Budd), and prophets (Captain Vere, the Attorney), the first two of which can be "Originals", ways in which primary nature erupts into secondary nature.

This lecture focuses specifically on the formula "I would prefer not to", said by Bartleby in the story and analyzed by Deleuze in terms of agrammaticality, its effects, and a logic of preference and negativism.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Politics

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 1 about whether unlimited acquisition of wealth is something good and to be aimed at. His view is that such unlimited acquisition represents a mistaken way of understanding wealth and its purposes, and thereby a mistaken set of priorities.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Aristotle's work of moral theory, the Politics

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in book 1 bearing on slavery, and whether it is simply unnatural and therefore unjust, or whether in some cases it is natural. Aristotle argues that there are some people who are "natural slaves", but this class is smaller in his work than the much wider extension of those who would later use Aristotle to justify slavery in the Americas lent that concept.
