Judaism as Philosophy Studies in Maimonides and the Medieval Jewish Philosop…
The studies comprising this volume, most of them appearing for the first time in English, deal with some of the main topics in Maimonides' philosophy and that of his followers in Provence.

In the Place of Utopia Affect and Transformative Ideas
Considerable socio-political change has re-configured the discursive space once occupied by ‘utopia’.

Rather, it is overdetermined b…

By focusing on rhythms, we recognize how multiple, different forms inform both our…
