Enoch Kuo graduated in 2024 and is currently teaching at Seton Hall University. His research sits at the intersection of philosophy, religious ethics, and the history of science and seeks to effect a political-ethical turn in the study of the intersection between religion and science. His dissertation, "Beyond Sovereignty: The Political Theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher" attempts to revisit a foundational figure in the modern study of religion by setting his reflections on religion alongside his contribution to post-Revolution political philosophy. The dissertation reconstructs and situates Schleiermacher's political philosophical arguments alongside those of his better-known contemporaries (Kant, Fichte, and Hegel) and scholarship on key developments in republican politics in the wake of the American and French Revolutions. In addition to a non-liberal account of the separation of church and state that highlights the ongoing political significance of ecclesiology in modernity, Schleiermacher also offers a creative political-economically sensitive conception of right, a non-statist account of collective property, and a non-sovereign, non-contractualist account of republican liberty that allow him to stake out a somewhat unconventional approach to understanding the nature of race and inequality in the modern state. He is in the process of publishing his dissertation as a book and working on developing a political-theological analysis of the place of science in democracy. 

Other research interests include: 1) the political theology of the “conflict thesis” between science and religion and its role in shaping the eugenics movement as well as contemporary academic practice; 2) the politics of natural theology and moving beyond constructivist-realist responses to the persistence of race science; 3) Asian-American theology; 4) the conception of justice involved in the doctrine of justification and its politico-ecclesiological implications for debates about religion and liberal democracy; 5) what science studies can teach us about rethinking the relationship between theology and religious studies; 6) theories of causality and providence in the early modern era; 7) the historiography of early modern philosophy and science.

Enoch also holds an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary as well as a B.A. in Religion from Princeton University.
