About
Jon received a B.A. in liberal arts from Sarah Lawrence College in 2003, then went on to complete an M.A. (honours) in religious studies at McGill University in 2006 with a thesis on Richard Rorty’s and Charles Taylor’s critiques of modern epistemology, focusing on the relation between these critiques and Rorty’s and Taylor’s very different attitudes toward religion. After working for several years in secondary education, Jon moved to Belgium to complete a second B.A. (2009) and M.A. (2010) in philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. His thesis in Leuven examined the recently published correspondence between Hans Blumenberg and Carl Schmitt in light of their differing conceptions of secularization and of the political function of myth in the modern period. Jon’s ongoing research interests include the conceptual histories of ‘religion’ and ‘the secular’ and of their relation, modern theories of myth and the politics of mythmaking (as in Sorel, Cassirer, Blumenberg), political theology (as in Schmitt, Milbank, Kahn) and critical theory (Benjamin, Agamben).
