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.
