Biography
Daniel Lazar is a PhD student in the Department of Religion studying the relationship between apocalyptic thought and philosophy. His research focuses particularly on the ethical, political, and ecological frameworks that emerge from eschatological movements and traditions. He is particularly interested in the role of Jewish and Christian Messianisms in the development of phenomenology and critical theory in the twentieth century; the legacies of heterodox apocalyptic traditions in ancient and medieval Judaism and Christianity; the role of apocalyptic thought in political movements in the Americas, including Indigenous movements against imperialism; and the place of "apocalypse" in ecological thought, past and present. He recently completed his MA in philosophy at the New School for Social Research.
