Topics in Philosophy and Jewish Thought - Thinking Time and History

This seminar will focus on 20th-century theoretical works focusing on problems related to time and history —including works dealing with ideas of eschatology and messianism. We will read works by Martin Heidegger, Jacob Taubes, Karl Löwith, Hermann Cohen, Jacques Derrida, Gershom Scholem, and Emmanuel Levinas. Suggestions from students for works you would like to study that would fit into in the framework of this seminar are welcome – please e-mail me by August 20, 2017: danahol@mcmaster.ca .
