Lecture #6 reviews material from previous lecture. Moves into an examination of the third essay in the Genealogy. Topics include, but are not limited to, ascetic practices, ascetic ideals, combining the first and second essays, priests and the attempt to alleviate the slaves' suffering.
Lecture #7 thoroughly reviews material from previous lecture. Continues examination of the third essay. Topics include, but are not limited to, Christianity, asceticism, the relationship between the priests and slaves, nihilism, will to truth, and truth-telling.
Review: Overall this 7 part lecture is useful for broadly understanding the main themes and story in the Genealogy, as well as being introduced to the major concepts. The lecturer does not refer to the Genealogy throughout the lecture; however, this is probably because he assumes the students have already read the material. The professor is animated and passionate which helps keep the listener/viewer engaged. This series is for anybody looking to begin a study of the Genealogy or looking to expand or shore up their understanding of the Genealogy.

Lecture#2 examines the second essay in the Genealogy. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, will to power, punishment, bad conscience, promise making, suffering, creditor and debtor.
Lecture #3 reviews materials from the previous lecture and begins an examination of the third essay in the Genealogy. Topics include, but are not limited to, the ascetic ideal, asceticism, philosophers and scholars, the noble class, the priestly class, the herd.
Lecture #4 continues examining the third essay in the Genealogy. Topics include, but are not limited to, what the ascetic priests do for the slave class, asceticism, ressentiment, Nietzsche's genealogical method, and conclusory remarks about the Genealogy.
Review: The lecturer relies heavily on Nietzsche's text often quoting passages at length and then following up with an analysis. This method is beneficial for providing textual context for the subsequent analysis of key ideas pulled from the quoted text. Persons ranging from the novice to the more advanced may find this series beneficial, in that, it is a good introduction to Nietzsche's Genealogy in breadth without sacrificing depth, which the more advanced reader might appreciate. The lecturer does speak slowly which the novice reader may appreciate. However, a more advanced reader may benefit from speeding up the video in order to move through more quickly.
3) Gregory B. Sadler Lecturing on Ethics and Nietzsche's Genealogy: Click here to find Prof. Sadler's lecture
Review: This single lecture, which runs about 52:28, includes, but is not limited to, examining the following topics in Nietzsche's Genealogy: might makes right, master and slave morality, the slave revolt in morality, and ressentiment. This particular lecture is not for the advanced or intermediate reader of Nietzsche's Genealogy. This lecture is aimed more toward a very limited and novice introduction to the Genealogy. Thus, if one has little to no familiarity with the Genealogy, then this lecture is a good place to start. However, the intermediate to advanced reader of the Genealogy may not find this useful.
