Description
Professor Sergey Dolgopolski’s general area of interest is the variety of ways in which philosophy and literature interact, creating new philosophical concepts and new literary forms. He specializes in the Talmud as a body of text and thought seen from poetic, rhetoric and philosophical perspectives, with a particular interest in mutual hermeneutics of philosophical, rhetorical and Talmudic traditions, and with emphasis on mutually shaping engagements of poetic Talmudic and philosophical thinking.

/What is Talmud? The Art of Disagreement/ (2009)
/The Open Past: Subjectivity and Remembering in the Talmud/(2013)
/Other Others: The Political After the Talmud/(2018); all with Fordham University Press.
