Alex is a PhD candidate at the DSR working in collaboration with the Centre for Jewish Studies. He completed his MA in Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research will focus on analyzing the development of virtue ethics among the Jews in medieval Spain , North Africa and Provence . I plan to do so through an analysis of the ethical lessons (toaliot hamiddot) of Levi Gersonides’ (1288-1344) in his Biblical Commentary. Such a study will be in dialogue with the contemporary revival of virtue ethics among such thinkers such as Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha Nussbaum.
