About this Event
In her important and much admired essay October 8th, Genealogy of a Virtuous Hatred, Professor Eva Illouz, Professor of Sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Paris School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) analyzes the intellectual, political and psychological factors behind what she sees as the embrace by the left of an antisemitism that has become “virtuous”, justified on the basis of progressive values, as exemplified by the lack of compassion after the massacre of October 7th. Join us for a fascinating dive into the effects of Foucault’s French theory, Derrida’s deconstructivism and much more by a lifetime member of the left for whom October 8th was a watershed moment.
