Michael Fagenblat works at the intersection of Jewish thought and western philosophy. His research focuses on the phenomenological and ontological aspects of Jewish thought and their implications for post-secular approaches to contemporary moral and political life. His works include A Covenant of Creatures: Levinas’s Philosophy of Judaism (Standard UP 2010), Negative Theology as Jewish Modernity (Indiana UP, 2017), and numerous articles on the theopolitical aspects of phenomenological thinkers such as Heidegger and Levinas. His interest in philosophy as a way of life stems from the hermeneutical, exegetical, pragmatic and ancient Greek features of Jewish thought.
