The Schulman Professor of Philosophy atHebrewUniversityinJerusalem, Margalit is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books and helped found the organization Peace Now.In 2001 he was awarded the Spinoza Lens Prize fora significant contribution to the normative debate on society.

Margalit is the author ofThe Ethics of MemoryandA Decent Societyand has published widely in philosophical journals on topics including philosophy of language, logical paradoxes and rationality, social and political philosophy, and the philosophy of religion.

Born inIsraelin 1939, Margalit began his study of philosophy at theHebrewUniversity, where he earned his bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees before joining the faculty in 1970.

Yoder, a founding fellow of the Kroc Institute , taught at Notre Dame from 1968 until his death in 1997.

A devout Mennonite who believed that nonviolence is an imperative for all Christians, Yoder resisted the notion that Christians should be assimilated into secular society and insisted that the Church is itself an entirely new society which embodies the forgiveness and self-sacrificing love of Jesus. His scholarship and teaching have profoundly influenced theological discussions about war, social justice, and the relationship between church and state. He wrote several books, including “The Priestly Kingdom,” “What Would You Do?” and “The Politics of Jesus.”
