Holiness after Logos
Engaging thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Simone Weil, and Hans Jonas, this essay argues that Taubes offers a radical critique of modern Gnostic tendencies. Whereas Jonas and Emmanuel Levinas read Gnosticism as dualistic, Taubes interprets it as a symptom of monism—an oppressive logic of identity culminating in atheistic mysticism. She diagnoses Western theology as a totalizing logos that reduces transcendence to immanence. Through her readings…
Makhloket
This article explores the concept of makhloket (dispute, disagreement) as a foundational principle of rabbinic discourse, contrasting it with Western philosophical and political notions of conflict. Beginning with Mishnah Avot 5:17, which distinguishes between disputes “for the sake of heaven” (exemplified by Hillel and Shammai) and those that are not (exemplified by Korah), the essay argues that makhloket is not simply about contesting authority…

Decolonizing epistemic justice
This article responds to the challenge of decolonizing epistemic injustice by offering the project of inter-epistemic thought or ‘Inter-Epistemology'. The point of departure is a critical epistemology of Western science, which seeks to go beyond the negative moment of self-critique. Instead, it seeks to confront Western science with actually existing divergent systems of knowledge. This kind of confrontation implies epistemic plurality and requir…
Hermeneutics before Ontology
This paper examines Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophical development from Totality and Infinity to Otherwise than Being as a self-critique and revised understanding of Martin Heidegger. It focuses on later Levinas’s analysis of language in terms of the difference between Saying and Said. For Levinas, the Said represents the betrayal of ethical Saying into ontological essence. This echoes Heidegger’s notion of the forgetfulness of Being in beings. How…
Logos and Extermination

Back to Exile
This article reviews recent books by Jewish thinkers that critique the idea of a Jewish state from the perspective of Jewish exile. It outlines two main approaches. The first, secular approach, rejects the Jewish state in favor of a secular state, seeing Judaism itself as the problem, whether arising from biblical violence or collective identity. The second, post-secular approach, rejects the Jewish state as secular, and finds resources in Jewish…

Ethnocentrism in Esoteric Circles
This essay is dedicated to Elliot Wolfson’s new book on Heidegger and Kabbalah. Wolfson’s project is read here as a philosophical reflection and scholarly intervention on the “and,” that is, on pluralism in thought. Wolfson juxtaposes Heideggerian and kabbalistic corpora as expressing the same conception of non-totalitarian, plural thought, and criticizes both Heidegger and Kabbalah for betraying this pluralism in their ethnocentric tendencies. A…

Heidegger as Levinas's Guide to Judaism beyond Philosophy
This essay reflects on the way that Emmanuel Levinas stages the difference between Judaism and Philosophy, namely how he approaches Jewish thought as a concrete other of philosophy. The claim is that this mise en scène underlies Levinas's oeuvre not only as a discourse about the Other, but as a real scene of an actual encounter with otherness, namely the encounter of philosophy with the epistemic otherness of Judaism. It is in the turn to Jewish …

Jewish Redemptive Epistemologies, Hegelian Teshuvot
This paper consists in a reflection on the conceptual nerve center of Franz Rosenzweig’s thought and heritage that is the category of redemption as an epistemological category. The reflection is articulated through a comparative study of the redemptive epistemologies of three modern Jewish thinkers: Franz Rosenzweig, Rabbi Yoseph Dov Soloveitchik and HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook. The comparison arises from a basic feature that this paper i…
Disfigured Friends
This paper addresses a fundamental structural paradox in the modern figure of the Jew as a friend. The paradox results from the essence of Jewish modernity as the time of Jewish integration within (i. e., becoming friends with) non-Jewish modernity, or simply within the non-Jewish, paradigmatically through political emancipation and socio-cultural assimilation. The process of assimilation, in which Jews relinquish their distinctiveness, implies l…

Is Technology Jewish? A Conversation with Heidegger
This essay examines the relation between Heidegger’s thoughts on technology and his anti-Jewish passages in the Black Notebooks . Going beyond the debate on anti-Semitism, the essay proposes a reading of these passages in their immediate context, which is Heidegger’s earlier critique of modern technology. To frame and further contextualize this reading, the first part of the essay introduces the broader horizon of Heidegger’s work on technology, …

Ger
This essay reflects on the cross-border performance of the ger in the basic rabbinic text, the Talmud. It looks at ways in which the ger opens up inside the Talmudic texture a space of reflection on the borders of the rabbinic socio-political project, i.e. ‘Israel’. The immigrant ger, initially an outsider, is unveiled as a paradigm of the rabbinic subject. The guiding question concerns the nature of the space in which the cross-border event of t…
Invisible Concealment of Invisibility Crypto-Judaism as a Theological Paradigm of Racial Anti-Semitism
The motif of secret, crypto-Judaism has a history that reaches further back into the theological tradition. It no doubt structurally arises from or closely related to the epistemo-political challenges posed by the unworldliness and absolutely inner being of faith, which in the political or inter-subjective dimension immediately raises the question of evidence. The question of evidence, i.e., for the invisible faith, becomes acute in the case of c…
