“Cadell is a master in making philosophy real and truthful. His courses and 1-on-1 sessions have been a great catalyst for my personal development. Crazy wisdom!”

— Joris de Kelver, A Man Seeking

“The Hegel course was a life-changing experience. Not only were we as course participants guided through the book’s contents in the deepest theoretical way, but Cadell made sure that its complexity related back to the simplicity of embodied choice-making in daily life. Cadell’s way of teaching philosophy, with the structure and method of his courses, are frankly unmatched.”

— Dimitri Crooijmans, Tantric Scientist of Spirit

“In his recent online course on Hegel, Dr. Last managed to make that uber-obscure philosopher accessible, relevant and timely, which is no small feat. This is philosophy firmly grounded in experienced reality, going far beyond dry academia. On top of that, the course was highly interactive, culminating in an online conference with surprising talks on various aspects of Hegel and a matching upcoming edited book by the course’s participants. Looking forward to what Dr. Last will do with Nietzsche next. Highly recommended!”

— Thomas Hamelryck, Computer Scientist and Wild Girardian

“Dr. Cadell Last is unique among teachers of philosophy today — like Slavoj Zizek he has managed to make philosophy dangerous and existential again, to bring back Freud, Hegel and Nietzsche with a vengeance — and make them fully contemporary, using popular culture memes, rap songs, and personal illuminations to illustrate ideas. His ability to communicate the pith of these philosophers with simplicity, and yet without dumbing them down is singular, and unlike many teachers, who remain in the realm of pure abstraction, Cadell’s classes can provide you with a real learning community, outside the racket of academia, which can actually change your life.”

“Many people call themselves philosophers in our era, however, they don’t live up to the history of what it truly means to be a philosopher, and in many ways, the meaning of the word has been watered down, or even lost. But Cadell Last is a real philosopher, someone who lives philosophy with his soul, it pours out of his work, he is genuinely a student of the Socratic tradition. The way Cadell teaches philosophy is beautiful and very rare, the Hegel course was phenomenal and the 1-on-1’s I took with him have changed my life for the better, helping me to become a greater philosopher: if you are thinking of doing a course with Cadell, you should, and won’t regret it.”
