Professor Kozlowski produces an odd, unfocused lecture for an odd, unfocused topic.
Professor Kozlowski goes over the syllabus for the online Summer '24 session of Love and Friendship.
CW: Suicide and Mental Illness
Professor Kozlowski concludes his discussion of Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther by examining the causes (and the effects) of Werther's death. Goethe's treatment of Werther's case is careful and multifaceted - we'll look at some of the different perspectives Goethe offers us for understanding why Werther kills himself, and how we should interpret this act.
CW: Mental Illness and Suicide
Professor Kozlowski discusses the first half of Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther, including character introductions, an examination of typically Romantic characteristics, and discussion of mental illness and suicide.
Professor Kozlowski examines the final speech of Plato's Symposium and examines some of the *many* ways it might be interpreted as a contribution to Plato's understanding of love.
At long last, it's time to hear Socrates' justly-famous theory of love.
Professor Kozlowski takes on the justly famous speech-myth of Aristophanes and how it appeals to modern audiences. (Also Eryximachus and Agathon...)
Professor Kozlowski discusses the opening and first two speeches of Plato's Symposium, examining not just the content of the speeches, but the context Plato offers to provide depth to the characters' understanding.
In our first Patron-requested topic of the summer, Professor Kozlowski throws caution to the winds and addresses the contemporary state of American Christianity in politics and society: How did we get here? Why do Christians believe what they believe? Are these beliefs consistent? Can these convictions be changed, and how might we go about changing them?
