Six hours of dead German philosophers and somehow you're still awake? Respect.
These last major lectures by Hans Heinz Holz (1927–2011) follow his philosophical reflection from Parmenides to Karl Marx. They were recorded in October 2009 at his home in Sant’Abbondio, Switzerland.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Holz was a rare Western philosopher who maintained party membership in East Germany while producing serious academic work, making his Marx interpretation politically loaded.
The 353-minute runtime mirrors Hegel's notoriously long lectures—Wilke essentially made an anti-TED Talk. The lack of audience reaction shots forces you to be the student.
