Lectures on Jewish Philosophy / 2020 - 2021
The aim of this Zoom lecture series is to examine together with international invited speakers the potential of Jewish thought for ethical and political questions of contemporary relevance, also from the perspective of different disciplines. The lectures complement my current teaching on Jewish Philosophy at the University of Bayreuth, but are open to all interested (registration required).
