2021/08/26

Professor Kozlowski introduces Internet listeners and official students alike to his newest course at Ramapo College: The Philosophy of Love and Friendship.

Let's show some ropes and plot our course. If you have questions or topic suggestions for Professor Kozlowski, e-mail him

God of Wrath - God of Mercy

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/06/21

Professor Kozlowski interrupts his discussion of Phenomenology with a one-off lecture on a topic he is frequently asked to answer: How does a Christian reconcile faith in a merciful, loving God with the stories of wrath and violence common to the Old Testament? To answer this, Professor Kozlowski examines several different perspectives, including Dispensational theology (common among Baptists and Evangelicals), Medieval theology of Divine Simplicity, and existentialist Russian speculation about the

Bulgakov Conclusion

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/03/23

Professor Kozlowski gets a bit more introspective than usual, pairing his observations of the final chapters of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita with some discussion of his own work during the lost year of 2020-2021, and what "Professor Kozlowski Lectures" means and is for, now that the original intention for the format has been largely fulfilled.

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/03/12

The Devil and Daniel Webster

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/03/09

Professor Kozlowski discusses Stephen Vincent Benet's "The Devil and Daniel Webster" - a love letter to Irving's "The Devil and Tom Walker" which totally misses the moral point underlying Irving's story, and may inadvertently expose some of the ideological problems lying at the heart of the 20th Century's greatest atrocities.

Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/03/05

Professor Kozlowski discusses two key chapters of Fyodor Dostoevsky's massive, ugly masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov. We touch especially on Ivan's arc through the story, and how Dostoevsky uses his character to explore the psyche of the new Russian intellectual, condemn his ideology, and still prescribe compassion for his loneliness.

Byron's Don Juan

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/23

Professor Kozlowski takes a stab at interpreting Byron's satirical labyrinth: Don Juan. Including: Hypocrisy! The obvious(?) conflict between classical education and conventional morality! Hypocrisy! The absurdity of racial/bloodline purity! Marital distress! Hypocrisy! Criticism of the Enlightenment! Romantic idealization of Don Juan! More Hypocrisy!

The Devil and Tom Walker

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/23

Professor Kozlowski discusses Washington Irving's delightful and cutting short story of social satire and satanic shenanigans: "The Devil and Tom Walker". This includes some discussion of where the story succeeds - and fails - in its commentary on 19th century racism, Irving's whip-smart prose, and a substantial tangent on usury.

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/19

Professor Kozlowski concludes his discussion of Goethe's Faust, Part One by discussing the fall of Gretchen/Margareta, and touching briefly on the conclusion of Faust, Part Two for the sake of closure. He managed to do all this without breaking into tears - this time.

Faust Scenes 10-19

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/19

Professor Kozlowski finally reaches plot development in Goethe's Faust, Part One. He discusses Margareta as a character, Faust's (and the audience's) relationship to her, and the looming sense of destruction hanging over everyone. What could go wrong?

Moliere's Don Juan

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/12

Professor Kozlowski over-analyzes the frankly silly Don Juan of Moliere. He discusses the Don Juan tradition up to this point, as well as dissecting many of the scenes throughout the play. Along the way he highlights Moliere's criticism of philosophy, religion, medicine, science, love, honor, responsibility, and basic human decency. It's nihilism before its time, folks, and it will rarely ever be this much fun.

Milton's Paradise Lost

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2021/02/10

Professor Kozlowski dissects the first Book of Milton's Paradise Lost, and constructs an argument that Milton is making a case for the royalist faction in the 17th-century British Civil War. Is Satan meant to be sympathetic? Or is Milton trying to condemn the Parliamentarian rebels by comparing them to Satan?
