Eranos
Every year since 1933 many of the world's leading intellectuals have met on Lake Maggiore to discuss the latest developments in philosophy, history, art and science and, in particular, to explore the mystical and symbolic in religion. The Eranos Meetings - named after the Greek word for a banquet where the guests bring the food - constitute one of the most important gatherings of scholars in the twentieth century. The book presents a set of portraits of some of the century's most influential thinkers, all participants at Eranos: Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Mircea Eliade, Martin Buber, Walter Otto, Paul Tillich, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Read, Joseph Campbell, Erwin Schrodinger, Karl Kereyni, D.T. Suzuki, and Adolph Portmann. The volume presents a critical appraisal of the views of these men, how the exchange of ideas encouraged by Eranos influenced each, and examines the attraction of these esotericists towards authoritarian politics.
On Dreams and the East
Jung’s landmark seminar on the symbolism of yoga and its applications to dream analysis In the summer of 1933, C. G. Jung conducted a seminar in Berlin attended by a large audience of some 150 people, including several Jewish Jungians who would soon leave Germany. Hitler had begun consolidating his position as dictator and these students were distressed at Jung’s recent decision to accept the presidency of a German professional psychotherapy society that was rapidly becoming Nazified and purged of Jews. On Dreams and the East makes these seminar sessions widely available for the first time, offering tantalizing insights into Jung’s evolving understanding of yoga and the realization of ...
Lived Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World
The Lived Ancient Religion project has radically changed perspectives on ancient religions and their supposedly personal or public character. This volume applies and further develops these methodological tools, new perspectives and new questions. The religious transformations of the Roman Imperial period appear in new light and more nuances by comparative confrontation and the integration of many disciplines. The contributions are written by specialists from a variety of disciplinary contexts (Jewish Studies, Theology, Classics, Early Christian Studies) dealing with the history of religion of the Mediterranean, West-Asian, and European area from the (late) Hellenistic period to the (early) Middle Ages and shaped by their intensive exchange. From the point of view of their respective fields of research, the contributors engage with discourses on agency, embodiment, appropriation and experience. They present innovative research in four fields also of theoretical debate, which are “Experiencing the Religious”, “Switching the Code”, „A Thing Called Body“ and “Commemorating the Moment”.
The Solar Myths and Opicinus de Canistris
C.G. Jung held an ‘extemporaneous’ seminar on “The Solar Myths and Opicinus de Canistris” at the 1943 Eranos Conference. In a complete version for the first time, this book presents all of the known material relating to the seminar, including notes taken by two of his students, Alwine von Keller and Rivkah Schärf Kluger, and the outline that Jung himself prepared. Opicinus de Canistris (1296–c. 1352) was a priest and cartographer from near Pavia, Italy. His typically medieval cartography is characterized by historical, theological, symbolic and astrological references along with a curious anthropomorphism, which depicted continents and oceans with human features. Jung recognized t...

Camminando con Krishnamurti
Questo testo vuole tentare di ripercorrere le idee fondamentali del pensiero espresso da Krishnamurti, collegandole attraverso un fil rouge che possa aiutare il moderno lettore occidentale a penetrare il senso complessivo che sottende l’universo krishnamurtiano, superando quell’osticità legata al fatto che l’espressione del filosofo è a-sistematica e affidata solo al libero fluire del pensiero. Krishnamurti, quando ebbe trasformato la sua esperienza di sofferenza in consapevolezza, divenne quello che la Tradizione chiamerebbe un illuminato. Comprese che la verità non è altro che l’esperienza del mondo che si presenta a una mente disponibile a osservare e ascoltare, e che tutti i sistemi filosofici, tutte le religioni organizzate, non possono portare altro che a vivere nella falsità e nella irrealtà, schiavi di idoli d’oro da adorare. Il libro vuol mostrare come Krishnamurti abbia trovato invece la verità là dove non esiste la fede e dove, cessata la brama, l’Ego decostruito si purifica.
Segreti massonici italiani
Giardini, simboli e luoghi di ispirazione per testimoniare un percorso lasciato in eredità ai posteri. Ma non si pensi che questa tendenza riguardi solo il passato: da sempre i Liberi Muratori accompagnano il loro orgoglio di appartenenza al desiderio di lasciare tracce dietro di sé. Lo hanno fatto pittori, scultori, architetti, così come anche letterati, musicisti e poeti. Lo hanno fatto e – lo diciamo con cognizione di causa – continuano a farlo. Certo, alcune tracce col tempo si perdono perché superfetazioni e restauri, a volte inconsapevoli e a volte malandrini, le occultano. Altre restano, col loro linguaggio fatto di stimoli, in grado di parlare a chi ha la volontà e il desiderio di continuare a interrogarli.
