How can the philosophical ideas of a Lebanese thinker continue to inspire dialogue, understanding, and intellectual exchange across cultures and generations?

The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) is hosting The Philosophy of Amin Rihani, an international conference dedicated to revisiting the intellectual legacy of one of Lebanon's influential thinkers and exploring the contemporary relevance of his philosophical vision.

Organized by the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, in collaboration with Amin Rihani Association and the Arabic Language Academy in Beirut, the event will take place on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the Jean El Hawa Auditorium.

The conference will bring together academic perspectives to explore key dimensions of Amin Rihani's philosophy, particularly his emphasis on humanism, openness, cultural understanding, and the pursuit of a more harmonious world.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, the event aims to encourage reflection on the connections between philosophical inquiry, cultural identity, and dialogue across different intellectual traditions.
