The Academy held an international conference on January 23–24 on the subject of “Martin Buber and His Legacy.” Buber, for whom the dialogical approach was a guiding principle, served as the first President of The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. He endeavored to enhance scientific research through a multidisciplinary approach that combined the natural and exact sciences with the humanities.

 

The conference, led by Academy Member Prof. Jonathan Meir, celebrated the publication of the definitive 21-volume collection of his writings and philosophy, a joint project of the University of Düsseldorf and The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
