The Middle East Institute is pleased to host Dr. Marcelo Dascal to discuss how religion and philosophy can help improve understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An expert on the conflict, Dr. Pascal will address possible solutions to the deadlock using models of conflict resolution drawn from the region’s three main religious traditions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
A Professor of Philosophy and former Dean of Humanities at Tel Aviv University, Israel, Dr. Dascal is also President of the New Israeli Philosophical Association and of the International Association for the Study of Controversies (IASC). He has published over two hundred articles and twenty books covering his main fields of interest, which include the philosophy of language and communication, the philosophy of mind, the history of modern philosophy, and the study of controversies.
