  • Publisher: Routledge

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.

  • Publisher: Anthem Press

Philosophy and anthropology have many, but largely unexplored, links and interrelationships. Historically, they have informed each other in subtle ways. This volume of original essays explores and enhances this relationship through anthropological engagement with philosophy and vice versa, the nature, sources and history of philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and the practical, methodological and theoretical implications of a dialogue between the two subjects. ‘Philosophy and Anthropology: Border Crossings and Transformations’ seeks to enrich both the humanities and the social sciences through its informative and stimulating essays.

Die Heilkraft der Stille

In dieser schnelllebigen, hektischen und lärmerfüllten Zeit sehnt sich der Mensch nach Stille. Er spürt, dass etwas aus dem Ruder läuft und anstatt innezuhalten, flüchtet er sich in Ablenkungen. Wenn es still wird, wird es laut, besagt ein altbekannter Spruch und sogar Gedankenlärm kann ohrenbetäubend sein. Wahre Stille ist nicht die Absenz von Geräuschen, sondern unser eigentliches Sein. Wer sich auf die Stille einlässt, wird Unglaubliches erfahren. Warum also nicht einfach diesen Schritt wagen? Es ist an der Zeit, es auszuprobieren und dieses Buch kann ein inspirierender Begleiter sein. Viel Glück auf dem Weg in die stille Heimat, in das friedvolle Seelenreich.

The Gift of Science

  • Categories: Law

Moving from the scientific revolution to the nineteenth-century rise of legal codes, Berkowitz tells the story of how lawyers and philosophers invented legal science to preserve law's claim to moral authority. The "gift" of science, however, proved bittersweet. Instead of strengthening the bond between law and justice, the subordination of law to science transformed law from an ethical order into a tool for social and economic ends.
