Dr. Eitan Bolkon
My research deals with the philosophy and interpretation of Zen Buddhist writings, focusing on the thought of Japanese Zen master Dogen (13th century) and his successors. In addition, I deal with Japanese philosophy and aesthetics as formulated in short poetry. Another field of research that I have been working on in recent years is comparative philosophy, especially on issues related to language and ethics in the thought of East Asian Buddhism and medieval Judaism.
