Man and Transformation

A classic collection of essays from the famed Eranos conferences edited by Joseph Campbell—including papers by Mircea Eliade, D. T. Suzuki, Paul Tillich, and Heinrich Zimmer

Beginning in 1933, the Eranos conferences in Ascona, Switzerland have brought together some of the world’s leading thinkers to give lectures on a wide range of topics in the humanities and sciences, particularly religion, mysticism, the occult, psychology, and the archetypes. Joseph Campbell selected and edited the best papers from the first few decades of the conference, publishing them in six volumes. This volume features essays by Ernst Benz, Henry Corbin, Jean Daniélou, Mircea Eliade, Fritz Meier, Adolf Portmann, D. T. Suzuki, Paul Tillich, G. van der Leeuw, Lancelot Law Whyte, and Heinrich Zimmer.
