Professor Kozlowski introduces Internet listeners and official students alike to his newest course at Ramapo College: The Philosophy of Love and Friendship.  In this class we'll be discussing some of the fuzziest and most personal subject matter philosophy dares to discuss, much of which will be new territory for the Professor and any students mad (or daring) enough to follow him.  Let's show some ropes and plot our course.

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 justice of God's wrath.

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 ties up a bunch of loose ends, Professor Woland cleans house, and Pilate engineers the creation of Christianity(?) - all in this penultimate lecture on Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita.

Professor Kozlowski begins his discussion of Part 2 of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita by examining Margareta's wild and exciting change from mild-mannered housewife to diabolical witch-queen.

Professor Kozlowski plays some plot-thread-round-up by briefly discussing the many characters (and chaotic situations) who arise in the last chapters of the first part of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita.  Next time - something completely different!

Professor Kozlowski watches (and is watched by) Professor Woland's "Black Magic and Its Exposure" show at the Variety theatre (in Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita).

Professor Kozlowski continues his discussion of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita by reviewing the devil's retinue, going over the Russian characters we've encountered so far, and discussing the themes of envy and justice as Bulgakov discusses them in the text.

Professor Kozlowski embarks on his discussion of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, beginning with the devil's mysterious appearance in Russia, Soviet antipathy to religion, and why Bulgakov insists on including a revisionist history of Jesus' interaction with Pontius Pilate.

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.
