8 PREFACE 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, In recent years the culture-gap that separates philosophers seems slowly - indeed much too slowly - to be narrowing. Although shortcircuits 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 inbetween real dialogue on the one hand and mutual estrangement on the other, and wished to provide a meeting place for it. As this volume appears two more Jerusalem Philosophical Encounters have taken place: one in 1976 on the philosophy of language (Meaning and Use, also published by D. Reidel Publishing Company and the Magnes Press, the Hebrew University) and the other in 1977 on Spinoza (in collaboration with the Institut International de Philosophie, to be published in their Entretiens by Martinus Nijhofl). This volume is divided into three parts. Part One discusses systematic issues in the philosophy of history and action, representing a number of contemporary viewpoints, such as the hermeneutical, the analytical, and the ix

9 x PREFACE phenomenological. Part Two represents the subject in historical perspective from Kant to Hegel, Marx, contemporary Marxism and Sartre. Part Three discusses what is living and what is dead in the philosophy of history, starting with Raymond Polin's challenging address and continuing with a panel discussion. I wish to thank all the distinguished colleagues and guests who have delivered papers and participated in the discussion. It gives me particular pleasure to dedicate this volume to Professor Nathan Rotenstreich - teacher, friend, and colleague. Professor Rotenstreich's impressive work - writing, teaching, and translating philosophy - has made him the foremost figure in Israeli philosophical life. His range, depth, and variety can hardly be matched. He is also a socially involved scholar, taking stands on public issues a.,d providing leadership to higher education. in Israel. The philosophy of history is one of Rotenstreich's direct concerns; he has written on it numerous articles and a systematic book (Between Past and Present) and has also dealt specifically with problems in Jewish history. It was, therefore, only natural to insist that his own contribution be included in the meeting. As always, I am deeply indebted to Ms. Eva Shorr (of the S.H. Bergman Centre for Philosophical Studies, the Hebrew University) for her meticulous work and invaluable help in all stages of preparing this work for publication. Thanks are also due to the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Van Leer Jerusalem Foundation that helped make the Encounter possible. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Yirmiahu Y ovel
