Noah Feldman Career | Noah Feldman Bloomberg
He is more concerned with issues at the intersection of religion, politics, and Islam. He highly supports the creation of a democracy with Islamist elements, which makes it lauded by some as a pragmatic and sensitive solution to the problems inherent in the creation of a new Iraqi government, others taking exception to the same idea, however, characterizing his views as simplistic and shortsighted.
He was a featured speaker, alongside noted Islamic authority Hamza Yusuf, in the lecture Islam & Democracy: Is a clash of civilizations inevitable?, which was subsequently released on DVD. An excerpt from his 2008 book, The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State, which appeared in the New York Times Sunday Magazine and was attacked by Leon Wieseltier for “promoting” Islamic law as a “swell basis” for political order. This amounts to “shilling for soft theocracy,” according to Wieseltier, and is hypocritical since Wieseltier presumes that neither he nor Feldman would choose to rear their own children in such a system.

Noah Feldman Scorpions
A tiny, ebullient Jew who started as America’s leading liberal and ended as its most famous judicial conservative. A Klansman who became an absolutist advocate of free speech and civil rights. A backcountry lawyer who started off trying cases about cows and went on to conduct the most important international trial ever. A self-invented, tall-tale Westerner who narrowly missed the presidency but expanded individual freedom beyond what anyone before had dreamed.
Feldman Interview
Q&A with Noah Feldman
Noah Feldman talked about The Three Lives of James Madison, his book on the former president’s role in creating the Constitution, his co-founding of the Republican Party, and his time as president.
BRIAN LAMB: Noah Feldman, what are The Three Lives of James Madison that you write about?
NOAH FELDMAN: Well, the first life is the one that’s most famous, that’s where he invented the Constitution as a true constitutional genius, not only the greatest in our country but probably the greatest constitutional genius in the world.
NOAH FELDMAN: In his second life, he discovered that the Constitution wasn’t perfect. He thought he had provided against political parties, but he discovered that he actually had to found a political party, the Republican Party, in order to fight Alexander Hamilton and the Federalist Party. So, he became a partisan very much against his own wishes, but a very intense partisan nevertheless.
NOAH FELDMAN: And then in his third life, he got to be Secretary of State for eight years and president for eight more and he had to take on the kinds of decisions that you have to take on when you’re actually running the show including fatefully taking us into our first declared war, the War of 1812, very much against the principles of a lifetime which were against a standing army and against a navy.
LAMB: Talk about him as a person, size and health problems and all that.
FELDMAN: Well, he was very different from most of the other founders. He was all in his head I think is how we would put it today. He was deeply committed to reason and logic. He hated public speaking. He hated arguing. He hated disagreement. He was much smaller than the others. He was maybe 5’6”. He may have been a little bit shorter according to some accounts.
FELDMAN: And he was very cautious about his health. You would get very sick in those days and he didn’t want to get sick. And so, as a consequence, he never took a sea voyage anywhere. He repeatedly turned down offers to go to Europe, including offers from Jefferson to go and visit him in France.
FELDMAN: And last but not least, he was susceptible to serious attacks of what we probably today would call migraine, intense headaches that were almost physically paralyzing and debilitating. And they only happened a few times in his life, but they happened at crucial stressful moments, and each time he powered through. He would be taken to bed for a few days and he would get up, force himself back into the saddle, and go on with whatever he was doing.
LAMB: For a guy who was sickly, he lived to be 85.
FELDMAN: Yes. I think he wasn’t profoundly sickly. He was just sickly enough to be worried about his health and it turns out that’s actually a pretty good strategy, especially in a world where they didn’t understand anything about infection. They just knew that it was out there.
FELDMAN: And so, actually, several really important decisions in Madison’s life were based on avoiding places where he thought there would be yellow fever and he was usually correct. He did manage to avoid places where there were going to be mosquitoes, even though nobody at that time knew that it was mosquitoes that give you yellow fever.
LAMB: If he was sitting right here right now, what’s the first thing you’d ask him?
FELDMAN: Well, if he were here right now, I would definitely want to ask him what we should do about our own descent into partisanship in this particular historical moment, because his own view was that you should only be partisan in order to put an end to partisanship.
