Lectures on philosophers and philosophy - I've got a few bookmarked by Foucault (some on his ideas would be good) and I've seen a few on Marx that helped me.

I'd like to see some lectures on thinkers that give a good introduction to their ideas, I'm especially interested in Foucault, Nietzsche, Kant and indeed any of the big thinkers that are necessary to understand.

Reading material will also be appreciated, and documentaries (search Human all too Human on Google video to find one on Sartre, Nietzsche and a few other people I can't remember at this point).

Here is a youtube channel with some great conversations with big philosopher about big philosophers, theyre about an hour each so they are not fluff. The dreyfus on heidegger one is excellent.

For another by dreyfus here it is

Also I highly suggest downloading "nietzsche and the post-modern condition" by rick roderick, who is just a great lecturer, has a fantastic texas accent, and is a radical of sorts himself.

If you are interested in Foucault and Nietzsche, a good essay by Foucault is: Nietzsche, Genealogy, History:

But I recommend reading A Genealogy of Morals first.
