Ring of Eranos

In Greek, Eranos is a banquet where each guest takes part in his manner, a kind of potluck. The circle of meeting of Eranos , founded by Olga Froebe-Kapteyn in 1933, gathered in the mountainous Tessin Suisse, with Ascona.

It accommodated thinkers of all kinds, the Thirties at the Seventies. Among them Henry Corbin, Mircea Eliade, the theologist Ernst Benz or the specialist in the Cabal Gershom Scholem. “It”, is written well there Gilbert Durand in his Introduction to the mythodology , “- in margin of all the universities of the world - that, freely, of the most eminent academics created a new anthropological science whose base rested on the essential faculty of the sapiens sapiens: namely its impossible to circumvent capacity to symbolize, its imagination symbolic system”.

Jung also visited the circle Eranos and Gilbert Durand, whose Michel Maffesoli is the disciple, there was introduced in 1964.
