Jay M. Bernstein is an American philosopher holding the position of University Distinguished Professor at The New School.[1] He received a BA from Trinity College in 1970 and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a PhD in 1975, presenting the thesis "Kant and transcendental realism".[2]
Bernstein is an expert in Continental philosophy and a leading interpreter of the philosophy of Adorno. According to Espen Hammer, Bernstein situates Adorno "in the middle of contemporary philosophical debate in ethics," and follows him in arguing that "genuine ethical responsiveness must be sought for in the repressed margins of society".[3]
Bernstein has published two books on art, The Fate of Art and Against Voluptuous Bodies: Late Modernism and the Meaning of Painting. In an interview with the Brooklyn Rail following these publications, Bernstein stated that "the modern rationality that creates modern science, that creates the capitalist economy, that creates bureaucratic rationality, needs to get rid of sensuous materiality, concreteness, and the experience of those things."[4]
