In conceiving the Philoctetes Center with Dr. Nersessian, Levy was influence by CP Snow’s famed “Two Cultures” essay, which inveighs against the growing separation between the worlds of science and the humanities, and Edmund Wilson's The Wound and the Bow. The Center has brought together a wide variety of figures from the humanities, including Edward Albee, John Turturro, Nicholson Baker, John Cameron Mitchell, Rick Moody, Ned Rorem, Rocco Landesman, C.K. Williams, Sharon Olds, Kiki Smith, Bruce McCall, Lewis Black, Philip Pearlstein, and Chuck Close, alongside such distinguished scientists as physicist Brian Greene, Nobel prize-winning researchers Gerald Edelman and Christian De Duve, and neuroscientists Antonio Damasio and Joseph Ledoux, among many others.

Levy received a BA from Columbia University in 1969 and an M.F.A from the Yale School of Drama in 1973. He also holds a third-degree black belt from Seido Karate, and was the subject of a profile concerning his workout regimen[5] in the online edition of The Wall Street Journal.
