Finally, the speaker would like to open discussion about current work in Indian scholarship and ways of fostering greater connections between History and Theory and interested scholars in India.

Prof. Kleinberg’s wide-ranging scholarly work spans across the fields of history, critical theory, philosophy, comparative literature and religion. He is the author of Generation Existential: Martin Heidegger’s Philosophy in France, 1927-61, which was awarded the 2006 Morris D. Forkosch prize for the best book in intellectual history, by the Journal of the History of Ideas. His co-edited volume Presence: Philosophy, History, and Cultural Theory of the Twenty-First Century was just published by Cornell University Press. He is presently in the process of completing two book length monographs: The Myth of Emmanuel Levinas on the Talmudic Lectures the French-Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas presented in Paris between 1960 and 1990, and Haunting History about deconstruction and the writing of history.
