Framing the reception of German Jewish thinking in the second half of the twentieth century as a parallel story to the rise of the modern humanities, \u003ci\u003eHomo Temporalis\u003c\/i\u003e also highlights how these foundational temporal concepts illuminate the causes of the present crisis in the humanities and its disciplinary limitations in the age of biopolitics and the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNitzan Lebovic is Professor of History and Apter Chair of Holocaust Studies and Ethical Values at Lehigh University.
