Thank you to everyone who will be joining the Harvard Club of Cincinnati on Monday, May 16, for an evening with Harvard University Professor of Government Michael E. Rosen! He will be discussing his current work and his book Dignity. This dinner/discussion replaces the Shore Dinner this year. Our destination is a Cincinnati gem, Hebrew Union College, the oldest extant Jewish seminary in the Americas and the main seminary for training rabbis, cantors, educators and communal workers in Reform Judaism. Founded in 1875, the Clifton campus is an architectural treasure and holds both the Skirbal Museum, with Jewish ceremonial and ritual objects and archeological artifacts, and the Klau Library, which includes rare treasures of Hebraica and Judaica from the 10th century on and is a conservator of negatives of the Dead Sea Scrolls. We will have the pleasure of meeting in the Reading Room with its gleaming wood and soaring windows. By special arrangement, we are offering two tours of the Rabbi David Ellenson Rare Book Room of the Klau Library at 5:15 and 5:35. The tours will be led by Dr. Jonathan Cohen, Dean of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and Dr. David Gilner, Director of Libraries for the four-campus library system of HUC-JIR and Librarian of the Klau Library. Group size is limited; please RSVP using the link below (no additional charge).
Michael E. Rosen is a British political philosopher who is active in the traditions of analytic philosophy and continental European intellectual thought. He is currently a professor at Harvard University. Rosen holds a B.A. in philosophy, awarded in 1974, and a D.Phil. awarded in 1980, both from Balliol College, Oxford. Prior to joining Lincoln College, Oxford, he served as a lecturer in politics at Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1980 to 1981, an assistant professor of philosophy at Harvard from 1981 to 1982, a special fellow in politics at Merton College, Oxford, from 1982 to 1985, and a lecturer in philosophy at University College London from 1986 to 1990. Rosen is especially famous for his thorough critiques of Hegel.
