Sefi, 26, undertook bachelor (with honors) and master (summa cum laude) philosophy degrees at Tel-Aviv University, under the supervision of Dr. Anat Matar. In his M.A dissertation Sefi brought together elements of Wittgenstein's philosophy of learning and Ernst Bloch's philosophy of hope, yielding an alternative to Paulo Feriera's and Henry Giroux's philosophy of education. Sefi is currently pursuing a PhD degree under the supervision of Dr Danièle Moyal-Sharrock and Prof. Dan Hutto.
Sefi's current research deals primarily with the nature of language acquisition. He is a skeptic with regard to Behaviorist and semi-Behaviorist accounts of syntax acquisition, while rejecting the hypothesis of innate representational language of thought. The primary aim of his thesis is to develop the best possible defence of the constitutive view of language, looking especially at the work of Millikan, Brandom and Wittgenstein.
