Marcin Moskalewicz is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin and Poznan University of Medical Sciences in Poland. Moskalewicz was Marie Curie Fellow at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, the Netherlands, and University of Oxford, UK, EURIAS Fellow at Collegium Helveticum in Zurich, Switzerland, Fulbright Scholar at Texas A&M, USA, and Humboldt Fellow at Heidelberg University, Germany.

What really impresses me with Moskalewicz is that he opens up a fresh reading of Arendt’s writings.He takes Arendt’s argument seriously that after the breach in tradition (for which we only have the words ‘Holocaust’ or ‘Shoah’), no solid scientific research can be done without critically reviewing the methodological presuppositions and consequences of scientific thinking.
