Challenges confronting our contemporary world like terrorism, populism and religious pluralism recommend revisiting Gandhi’s concept of Satyagraha.

The STIAS 2021 seminar programme opened with a seminar by the ‘Gandhi research group’ comprising Wolfgang Palaver of the Department of Systematic Theology at the University of Innsbruck, Louise du Toit of the Department of Philosophy at Stellenbosch University, Ephraim Meir of the Department of Jewish Philosophy and Kabbalah at Bar-Ilan University and Ed Noort of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Groningen.

The growing religious pluralisation of modern societies places the question of religions and dialogue at the centre of public and academic attention.
