About

I teach Philosophy, Jewish Studies, Theology and Religious Studies and am concerned with the relationship between religion and violence. My area of expertise is Modern Jewish Thought, 19th and 20th century German-Jewish philosophy and culture, and the conflict between reason and tradition.

I am currently preparing a book on Hannah Arendt, sponsored by the Library of Congress and a larger research grant from the British Academy.
