Lars Gule (born 24 June 1955) is a Norwegian philosopher.
A scholar on the Middle East, he took the doctorate degree at the University of Bergen in 2003 with the thesis Social Development and Political Progress in Two Traditions. He was involved in various research programmes at the University of Bergen and Chr. Michelsen Institute. Since 2006 he is employed at Oslo University College, currently as a post doctor research fellow.
From 2000 to 2005 he was the Secretary General of the Norwegian Humanist Association.
In 1977 Lars Gule was arrested in Beirut, Lebanon for carrying explosives, intended for an armed attack in Israel.[1] The explosives were meant for use in an action on behalf of Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) in an operation timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.[2] He was sentenced to half a year in prison in Lebanon for illegal possession of a weapon (i.e. explosives), but was not convicted on terrorism charges.
