Fania Oz-Salzberger

Her doctoral thesis, on the Scottish and German Enlightenments (1991), was written at the University of Oxford, supervised by Dr. John Robertson and mentored by philosopher Isaiah Berlin.

The book is an essay on Jewish history from a secular Israeli vantage point, reflecting an ongoing dialog between father and daughter, novelist and historian.

[3] She has taken part in media panels and interviews, commenting on politics, culture and literature, and contributed opinion articles to major newspapers and journals in Israel and globally.

Oz-Salzberger has published essays in the history of ideas and political thought, translation in the European Enlightenment, the biblical sources of John Locke, and intercivilizational conflict.

Her opinion pieces on politics, culture, and current affairs have been published in Newsweek, the International Herald Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, Le Figaro, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and Ha’aretz.
