Stanford’s Taube Center for Jewish Studies Presents: The Aaron Roland Endowed Lecture
Michael Walzer, Exodus and Revolution
 
In 1986, Michael Walzer, one of America’s leading political philosophers, published the book Exodus and Revolution, which reveals the Exodus story as a model of social transformation.
Some twenty five years later, Walzer will reflect
on the Exodus story and its implications for contemporary social change.

Walzer has written about a wide variety of topics in political theory and moral philosophy, including political obligation, just and unjust war, nationalism and ethnicity, economic justice, and the welfare state. He has played a critical role in the revival of a practical, issue-focused ethics and in the development of a pluralist approach to political and moral life. Walzer’s books include Just and Unjust Wars (1977), On Toleration (1997), and Arguing About War (2004); he has served as editor of the political journal Dissent for more than three decades. Currently, he is working on issues having to do with international justice and the new forms of welfare and also on a collaborative project focused on the history of Jewish political thought. He is Professor Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.
