Virtual. When the Truth Doesn’t Matter: Modern Fundamentalism and the Fragmentation of the Self

 We live in a world without truths. For too many, conspiracy theories abound as explanations for Jewish and national trauma. We have fallen into an endless fight of opposing narratives in which the one who shouts the loudest wins. What is the cause of this relativism? Can we still dialogue in thea context of litigation and ideological struggle? In this seminar, we will explore the causes of modern fundamentalism, and examine strategies to return individually and communally to a process of rationality.
