This volume contains the proceedings of the First Jerusalem
Philosophical Encounter - started by the Hebrew University
Institute of Philosophy (now the S. H. Bergman Centre for
Philosophical Studies), which took place on December 28-31, 1974.
In recent years the culture-gap that separates philosophers seems
slowly - indeed much too slowly - to be narrowing. Although short
circuits in communication still do happen and mutual disrespect has
not vanished, it is becoming unfashionable to demonstrate ignorance
of another philosophical tradition or to shrug it off with a
supercilious smile. Perhaps dialectically, the insufficiency of any
self-centred view that tries to immunize itself to challenges from
without starts to disturb it from within. Moreover, as the culture-
(and language-) bound nature of many philosophical divergencies is
sinking more deeply into consciousness, the irony of an attitude of
intolerance to them becomes more apparent. Our aim was to make a
modest contribution to this development. We did not, however, mean
to confuse genuine differences and problems in communication.
Consequently, the more realistic term "encounter" was preferred to
the idealizing "dialogue. " The Israeli hosts, themselves trained
in a variety of philosophical traditions, felt that there is
something in between real dialogue on the one hand and mutual
estrangement on the other, and wished to provide a meeting place
for it."
