Roey Reichert

Roey Reichert is currently an Exchange Fellow and Fellow in Residence at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University. He holds an additional affiliation as an Associate Member at the Interdisciplinary Centre for European Enlightenment Studies (IZEA) at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany.

Roey completed his doctoral studies in Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where his dissertation explored the relationship between nationalism and cosmopolitanism in Kant's political thought, contextualized within Kant's philosophical anthropology. He expanded this work into a comparative study examining similar themes in the writings of Johann Gottfried Herder and Georg Forster.

His research interests include:

• The interplay between universal values and cultural particularity
• Cosmopolitanism vs. nationalism
• German Enlightenment thinkers (Kant, Herder, Forster)
• Theories of modernity and nationalism
• Social philosophy of Ernest Gellner

Roey's work bridges political theory, anthropology, and intellectual history, focusing on ethical dimensions of cultural identity and globalization.
