Abstract
This essay examines peace in the Middle East by focusing on the historical precedents that have led up to the designation of the modern state of Israel. It is argued that it is the role of the philosophy of education to specifically analyse the creation of the modern state of Israel as a concept, and to unpack this concept with respect to its consequences. Further to this detailed philosophical work, this essay speculates on the more general role of the philosophy
of education during times of geopolitical upheaval and universal threat. As such, it was found that the philosophy of education has the dual function of thoroughly unpacking concepts, whilst providing an ethical and intellectual basis for examining the causes of violence and its ramifications. In sum, this essay argues that the philosophy of education has the specific purposes of critically examining concepts and providing future populations a stable basis for hope in the future.
