<p><strong>'This is a book that no one interested in the history of the study of religion or in the religious history of the twentieth century can afford to miss.'</strong> - <i>Gustavo Benavides, Villanova University, USA</i></p><p>'Thomas Hakl has given us here the definitive study of Eranos … A magnum opus fully deserving the name and certain to change the conversation.'<i> - Jeffrey J. Kripal, Rice University, USA</i></p><p>'The author shows himself to be one of the most knowledgeable students, if not indeed the foremost scholar, of Western esoteric and spiritual currents.' <i>- Mac Linscott Ricketts, Louisburg College, USA</i></p>

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.
