Research and Teaching
|
Justin's research interests have followed three general tracks.
- developing and thinking ontologies of difference/multiplicity, specifically in the
works of Gilles Deleuze and Alain Badiou and their ramifications for critiques of
political-economy and psychoanalysis;
- genealogically exploring non-canon philosophical figures and movements, especially
those thinkers in the "western hermetic tradition," such as the uptake of Hellenistic
philosophy into Gnostic and Hermetic thought and its inheritance in figures like Paracelsus,
John Dee, Giordano Bruno and Jakob Böhme; and
- praxical and philosophical Marxism including its uptake through critical theory, the
inheritance of Leninism, and the recent work of rethinking "the communist hypothesis"
in Negri, Badiou, and Žižek.
Justin also maintains teaching interests in religious studies, Jewish studies, and
philosophy of religion.
