Yoram Hazony

Yoram Hazony, born in 1964 in Rehovot, Israel, is an Israeli-Amer­i­can philoso­pher, Bible schol­ar, and polit­i­cal the­o­rist whose work has shaped con­tem­po­rary con­ser­v­a­tive thought. Hazony earned his B.A. in East Asian Stud­ies from Prince­ton Uni­ver­si­ty in 1986 and lat­er com­plet­ed his Ph.D. in Polit­i­cal The­o­ry at Rut­gers Uni­ver­si­ty in 1993. He is the pres­i­dent of the Her­zl Insti­tute in Jerusalem and serves as chair­man of the Edmund Burke Foun­da­tion, where he has been instru­men­tal in orga­niz­ing the Nation­al Con­ser­vatism con­fer­ences, a plat­form for dis­cussing the prin­ci­ples of nation­al sov­er­eign­ty and cul­tur­al her­itage. His book, The Virtue of Nation­al­ism (2018), won the Con­ser­v­a­tive Book of the Year award in 2019 and argues for inde­pen­dent nation-states’ moral and polit­i­cal ben­e­fits over glob­al­ist ide­olo­gies. In 2022, he pub­lished Con­ser­vatism: A Redis­cov­ery, explor­ing the roots of con­ser­v­a­tive phi­los­o­phy in West­ern and bib­li­cal tra­di­tions. Hazony has writ­ten exten­sive­ly on the Hebrew Bible, phi­los­o­phy, and the polit­i­cal chal­lenges of moder­ni­ty. He resides in Jerusalem with his wife, Yael, and their nine children.
