Israeli philosopher Omri Boehm is the author of Radical Universalism, a book that goes beyond offering a new interpretation of universalism: it revolutionizes our fundamental understanding of what the term means and explains why it is essential to preserve the struggle for emancipation. To do so, Boehm turns to a rereading of Kant and to his often misunderstood recovery of the anti-authoritarian monotheism of the Jewish prophets, which culminates in the idea that “no man has the right to obey,” neither God nor the State. Boehm, also the author of a binational framework for Israel and Palestine in Haifa Republic, argues that radical emancipation, if sustained, can make possible a commitment to humanity over identity-based positions.
