Kinship, Incest, and Slavery: A Thematic Constellation in the Triteuchal Political Theology of the Divine Name
Incest ("revealing the nakedness of the flesh of one's flesh") and slavery are presented in the Triteuch (Gen 1 through Lev 26) as twin threats to kinship creation (becoming "one flesh") as the uniquely human matrix for fulfilling the commandment "be fruitful and multiply." The serpent's duplicitous nakedness symbolizes incestuous reproduction; the Tower builders, who seek to preserve their "one lip," acquire one name, and avoid fragmentation int…
Philosophy and the Jewish Question: Mendelssohn, Rosenzweig, and Beyond
Drawing together two critical moments in the history of European Jewry-its entrance as a participant in the Enlightenment project of religious and political reform and its involvement in the traumatic upheavals brought on by the Great War-this book offers a reappraisal of the intersection of culture, politics, theology, and philosophy in the modern world through the lens of two of the most important thinkers of their day, Moses Mendelssohn and Fr…

The Flight of the Gods
The article argues that Martin Heidegger and Oskar Goldberg share a common gnostic motif of the "flight of the gods from the earth" and that both thinkers seek to prepare their people (the Germans, the Jews) for a "second beginning" of metaphysics that would restore the relationship between the people's god and the earth. Both thinkers also reject the Darwinian concept of the "state as organism" in the new academic study of human geography known …
Palintropos Harmoniê: "Jacob Taubes and Carl Schmitt "im liebenden Streit
Shortly before his death, Jacob Taubes described his intellectual engagement with Carl Schmitt, beginning in the early 1950s, as one of “liebender Streit” (loving strife). This article explicates Taubes's “loving strife” with Schmitt through the lens of what Taubes called the Pauline “Mysterium Judaicum,” that is, the conjunction of enmity and love coming to expression in the Jewish people as “enemies” of God for the sake of the gentiles, but “be…
Phylogeny Recapitulates Ontogeny: A Jewish Biogenetic Law
Let me begin by saying how fruitful for my own thinking about the Jewish Question has been Eliza Slavet's carefully researched and innovative study of Freud's notion of Jewishness as the product of inherited memory. I am currently at work on a study of Oskar Goldberg, like Freud a thinker committed to a biological understanding of Jewishness, and Slavet's work has convinced me that Goldberg's speculations about the evolution of the human species …

Sephardi Jewry: A History of the Judeo-Spanish Community, 14th-20th Centuries
Until the publication of this remarkably comprehensive history of the diaspora, only limited attention had been given to the distinctive Judeo-Spanish cultural entity that flourished in the Balkans and Asia Minor for more than four centuries. Yet the great majority of Jews, after their expulsion from Spain in 1492 and subsequently from Portugal, found their way to this region, drawn by the political stability and relatively tolerant rule of the O…

Athena's Cloak: Plato's Critique of the Democratic City in the Republic
L'autorepresentation politique d'Athenes democratique est exploree a travers la complementarite de l'autochtonie et des relations maritales, codees par les rituels d'Arrheophoria et Panathenees. Cette complementarite, symbolisee par le peplum d'Athena, est l'analogue mythique de la complementarite ideologique de homonoia et eleutheria/parrhēsia dans la polis democratique. L'A. s'interroge sur le fait que la cite ideale de Platon exige l'effacemen…
