Finding Radical Freedom: Some Reflections on Meister Eckhart

10th October, 2021
15:00 – 16:30 BST

Some say Meister Eckhart is simply a philosopher, the father of German philosophy. Others see him as the profoundest of mystics, ‘the man from whom God hid nothing’, ‘the mystic’s mystic’. Whatever else, Eckhart probed the depths of human freedom, unfolding the art of “living without a why”. In this seminar we will try to catch a first glimpse of what such freedom might mean.

“Differing Voices Make Sweet Music”: Unity in Diversity in Dante’s Divine Comedy

27th June, 2021
15:00 – 16:30 BST

An online seminar with Robert-Louis Abrahamson

Running throughout the three canticles of Dante’s Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso) is the importance of community, that is bringing together the diversity of individuals into one unified society, all the varieties of humanity conjoined in the Divine Unity. The talk will trace the journey through these three regions, focusing on Dante’s poetic (even mythic) rendition of the soul’s relation to these three aspects of Unity in Diversity.
