Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/10/28

Professor Kozlowski examines the laws of Leviticus and how they reveal new insights into God's Nature - though perhaps not as much as we might like.

How to Read the Bible

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/10/17

After a run of students asking for advice on learning about Christianity, Professor Kozlowski has decided to write and release his own guide for independently studying and familiarizing oneself with the Bible. Specifically, he recommends the following options, according to the length of one's commitment, or successively, as a way to gradually improve one's knowledge: 1/10 of the Bible (2 Weeks - 1 Month): OT: Genesis 1-25, Exodus 1-20, Ecclesiastes, Daniel 1-6, Jonah; NT: Luke, Romans 1/4

Pentateuch - Exodus 31-40

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/10/10

The golden calf episode in Exodus 32-34 is one of the most important passages in the Bible, and one of the least understood or discussed. Today, Professor Kozlowski closely examines this microcosmic story exploring the nature of sin, God's character, and how to properly debate (and even win arguments against) God.

Pentateuch - Exodus 15-30

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/10/03

After one of the most famous and exciting stories in the entire Bible comes...a bunch of laws and a famously boring series of chapters detailing the specific construction of the tabernacle. And yet, Professor Kozlowski has a lot to say about these passages, notably including his hermeneutic of Biblical law and how Jews (and Christians) should (and should NOT) apply these laws and principles to their live in a modern, pluralistic democracy. Keep in mind that I don't know how to access any

WWT - Phaedo and Myth

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/09/28

Today, since Professor Kozlowski is feeling a bit sick, he has uploaded his World Wisdom Traditions lecture, in a true return-to-pandemic-origins! Today he's discussing the underworld/afterlife myth in Plato's Phaedo (107c-118a), including discussion of how myth relates to philosophy, how Plato uses myth in his dialogues, and how that will inform the class going forward.

Pentateuch - Genesis 23-50

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/09/19

Professor Kozlowski tackles the messy and enigmatic one-two punch of the Jacob and Joseph narratives in the back half of Genesis, with emphasis on the weird and difficult passages like Jacob's complicated polygamous love life, his equally-strange relationship with God, and the apparently-nonsensical story of Judah and Tamar. We'll also look at the themes and implications suggested by these stories, as a way of preparing for the big show of the Exodus in the coming weeks. To see what else

Pentateuch - Genesis 4-22

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/09/12

Today Professor Kozlowski discusses the complicated, post-lapsarian world of early Genesis. He confronts some of the big ticket Genesis stories like Cain & Abel, Noah, and the Tower of Babel, as well as a deep examination of the story of Abraham, and his interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. Along the way he'll examine some of the most controversial discussions surrounding these passages, including the use of Ham's genealogy as a justification for slavery, and whether

Pentateuch - Genesis 1-3

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/09/05

Hooray! It's finally time to actually read and discuss the Bible! But only a little bit, since the first three chapters of Genesis apparently warrant an entire two-and-a-half-hour discussion all by themselves. Today Professor Kozlowski discusses the tensions between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, the characteristics of God and His created universe, as emphasized and explored in these passages, as well as the manifold interpretations and struggles between these texts, other mythological traditions,

Pentateuch - Introduction

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/08/28

But didn't we introduce the Pentateuch LAST WEEK? Nope. Old Testament "Introduction" is a formal term encompassing all of the scholarship surrounding authorship, provenance, textual criticism & history, and other non-content related questions about the text (largely because Old Testament "Criticism" sounds blasphemous in Christian circles). Today Professor Kozlowski confronts some of the most important questions surrounding the Pentateuch and its composition - and why

Pentateuch - Hermeneutics

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/08/22

Professor Kozlowski kicks off his discussion of the Pentateuch with a rousing discussion of How to Read! Not joking. It's Hermeneutics time, folks. Time to talk about How to Read the Bible, and just how wildly controversial that topic alone has become, as well as the presuppositions and assumptions he'll take into this text as we approach it in the coming weeks.

Notes - Lightning Round!

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/07/28

In this rapid-fire explanation and conclusion to the informal research notes series, Professor Kozlowski discusses the newly-finalized reading list for his World Wisdom Traditions class: what texts are included, why they are included, what texts have been omitted, why they have been omitted, and the underlying motivations governing these decisions. The result is a skeletal syllabus: one that anyone could follow to learn the course material, and the final fruits of his research labors these past

2023/07/17

Professor Kozlowski continues his study of Hindu Philosophy in Radhakrishnan's Sourcebook in Indian Philosophy by studying the schools of interpretation and commentary springing from the Sutras of the last centuries B.C. and first centuries A.D. in Hindu thought. Among others he'll discuss the logical methodology of the Nyaya, the discipline of meditation in the Yoga Sutra, and the interpretive tradition of Vedanta, which synthesizes the Upanishads into a cogent philosophical system.

Professor Kozlowski pivots from researching and discussing Native American philosophy to Hindu philosophy in this informal discussion. Here he'll discuss: 1. The differences and difficulties in researching Hinduism and its related disciplines and traditions; 2. The foundational texts underlying Hinduism (from the Vedas through Buddhism) and their rough development; 3. The basic philosophical tenets of these texts and how they have matured and changed over time; 4. Applications for his classroom;

Professor Kozlowski wraps up his discussion of Native American philosophy with a lightning round of books he's skimmed, partially-read, or hopes to read in the future, including: Erdoes and Ortiz - American Indian Myths and Legends Spencer and Jennings - The Native Americans Miller and Taube - The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya To see what else Professor Kozlowski is up to, visit his webpage: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/ or contact him directly at

Notes on Silko's "Ceremony"

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/06/26

Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony was highly recommended by Cordova in her previously-discussed book on Native American philosophy, How it Is. Today, Professor Kozlowski discusses the book at some length: how it does and does not fit into his study, how it encapsulates much of what he has found in Native American scholarship, and how it connects to his own, personal, experiences and understanding of the world.

Notes on "American Indian Thought" ed. Anne Waters

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/06/20

American Indian Thought (edited by Anne Waters) is perhaps the primary sourcebook for Native American Philosophy today, but it's a strange, discordant book without a clear guiding structure or organization beyond "philosophy-adjacent writings by Native Americans". Today Professor Kozlowski discusses some of the essays in the book, and contemplates its use in his upcoming class, in the broader effort to research and understand Native American perspectives, and in his responsibilities as

Notes on V. F. Cordova's "How It Is"

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/06/10

Having decided to spend the summer researching (rather than trying to produce polished lectures), Professor Kozlowski begins to report his research in this first informal "notes" lecture on V. F. Cordova's How It Is. Cordova was the first Native American scholar to receive a Ph.D in philosophy, and this book seems as good an entry point as any into the complicated world of Native American philosophy and scholarship. In this entry, Professor Kozlowski outlines his expectations for the

The Company We Keep

2023/06/06

Professor Kozlowski concludes (perhaps prematurely) his discussion of the Ethics of Literature by delivering a broad-strokes summary of Wayne C. Booth's The Company We Keep: An Ethics of Fiction, along with some musing on the series' diverse and complicated conclusions, and thoughts about future projects.

John Gardner's War on Nihilism

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2023/06/02

There are few matters in art criticism (and life) closer to Professor Kozlowski's heart than the mental/spiritual war against capital-N Nihilism - retaining hope in the face of despair, remaining positive in the face of relentless negativity, and perpetually adjusting one's perspective to acknowledge the value of the good things in the world, even when plans go awry and things fall apart. That conviction lies hand-in-hand with his reading of John Gardner's On Moral Fiction, which casts
