Hugo Bergmann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel (Schmuel) Hugo Bergman(n), or Samuel Bergman (December 25, 1883, Prague - June 18, 1975, Jerusalem) was a Czech-born German and Israeli Jewish philosopher.

He emigrated to Palestine in 1920, and founded, together with Martin Buber, a movement promoting a "dual-national" area where Jews and Arabs could live under equal conditions.

He translated several of Rudolf Steiner's books about threefolding to Hebrew.

He became a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and later on the dean of the university.
