Virtual SHIUR:
against ideology-Introduction to the shiur method
About course
Since October 7, 2023, the ascendancy of dogma and ideology regarding the Israeli-Palestinian question is just the tip of a larger iceberg that has threatened critical thinking and democratic structures across different disciplines and communities. Global incidents of hate, violence, totalitarian thinking, and anti-humanist trends have become commonplace in spaces where you would never suspect them.
How can we contend with this ideological turn? What tools can we employ to subvert dogmatic thinking? How can we obtain new perspectives if we are constrained by old ideas?
Can the ancient practice of critical engagement and creative interpretation with texts offer a tool in breaking out of ideological thinking? How does this look in the 21st century? What new and revolutionary ideas and worldviews can emerge?
