Current Fellows' research
- Faith and Flag: Religious Nationalism in the Age of PopulismThe gods are once again afoot in the public square. Across the globe, a toxic mixture of religion and nationalism is upending liberal conventions. In the United States, Christian nationalists have reshaped both the Republican Party and American politics.
- Post-Europe and the Ethos of Responsibility. Rethinking Europe since Jan Patočka and CEE’s dissidentsThe aim of this research is to explore the relevance of Jan Patočka’s complex theorization of the concept of Post-Europe.
- An Anti-Nationalist Organic Wholeness? Walter Benjamin and the Body of Humankind at the Turn of the 1920sThis project builds on undeveloped tropes in Karolina Jesień’s PhD thesis and aims to analyze Walter Benjamin’s early post-WWI writings (1918–1923).
- Kyiv Frescoes: A Personal and Cultural History of Ukraine’s CapitalNotably overlooked in literary nonfiction, Kyiv serves as a powerful symbol of Ukraine’s diversity and complexity.
- Exploring Leibniz’s View of Infinite Numbers and Its Possible EvolutionThis thesis explores Leibniz’s views on infinity and their potential evolution through engagement with some later philosophies.
- Exploring the Genesis Moment: Tracking the Making of a New World Order and Europe’s Place in ItAs the existing world order unravels, how the new one will be forged is yet uncertain, as there is no consensus on how to identify the new or upcoming order. Many identifications have been suggested: the world is multipolar, apolar, asymmetrically multipolar, in entropy, or bipolar.
