Jonathan Arking

Ph.D. program in Philosophy

I am interested in meta ethics, philosophy of language, and the limits of philosophy. I work primarily on Maimonides, focusing specifically on his critique of philosophical language, as well as on his conceptions of ethics and law. I am also interested in the affinities between Maimonides and later thinkers, such as Wittgenstein. 

Before Columbia, I received a B.A. in Philosophy from Princeton University (2024), where my work focused on philosophy of religion and epistemology.
