Research

Overview

My main areas of research are Aesthetics, and History of Philosophy.

In Aesthetics I am primarily interested in considering philosophical problems arising in specific artworks. I am particularly interested in issues arising in musical works.

In History of Philosophy, I am primarily interested in the post-Kantian and Medieval periods. Philosophers of particular interest to me are Maimonides, Spinoza, Adorno and Hasdai Crescas.

 

Projects

  • I am currently working on a book about the concept of Idolatry, and its role in the history of philosophy.
