** _About the talk:_**
The effort to achieve and preserve civil consent concerns political thinkers
and modern societies. Looking at the Israeli case, I will discuss the
possibility of agreeing in a modern, pluralistic and divided society. Is the
way for civil collaboration passing through the acknowledgment of the
inability to agree upon values and the abandonment of the liberal ideal for a
harmonious society?
** _Biography:_**
“I’m a research fellow at Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. I wrote my
Ph.D. at Haifa University, where I’m also teaching about the public sphere in
the modern state. My research topic is the ability to create and preserve
civil consent in the modern state, considering the constant cultural division
and the permanent existence of minority groups. I confront this question by
analyzing the political theory of Yeshayahu Leibowitz and his attitude to the
political sphere, the state of Israel, and the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.”
