Phenomenology: “Reception and Transformation”
Polish-Israeli philosophical conference

The third of a series of philosophical conferences arranged by the Polish Institute, the Jagiellonian University and Israeli universities shall be dedicated to phenomenology and will offer yet another opportunity to exchange experiences and to strengthen scientific ties between Polish and Israeli academia.
The choice of topic is a reaction to the growing interest in Poland as well as in Israel in the father of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl, and in French phenomenologists such as Emanuel Levinas and the representative of this philosophical school in Poland – Roman Ingarden.

The conference shall be held on December 2-3, 2007 at the Tel Aviv University, Gilman Room 496
