700. Todesjahr Meister Eckharts 2028
Die verschiedenen Eckhartgesellschaften rund um den Globus planen für das außergewöhnliche Jubiläum verschiedene Veranstaltungen. Den Fortschritt der Planungen entnehmen Sie bitte hier.
The various Eckhart societies around the globe are planning for the 700th anniversary of the death of Eckhart, 2028, events. In what follows you will see the progress of these plans:
Círculo Iberamericano Meister Eckhart:
19.-22.10.2028: Conference in Avila (topic: Reception of Meister Eckhart?)
Probably another meeting in May in Argentinia
Eckhart Society:
28.-30.8.2028, Conference in Oxford (topic: tbc)
Eckhart Study days in the US with outreach
Paris/Metz:
Conference in Paris, date tbc (topic: Eckhart and Philosophy/Scholasticism), link with the Society of Medieval Philosophy
Brussels (Louvain-la-Neuve) – details to come
Meister-Eckhart-Gesellschaft
27.3.-1.4.2028 Annual Conference (topic tbc: Birth, death, re-birth or time, eternity?)
September 2028: Eckhart days of the Predigergemeinde; planned is an exhibition of James Turrell who’s major inspiration is Eckhart in Erfurt’s major Art Museum (with an additional exhibition on other contemporary artists and Eckhart); a music performance and a scholarly workshop on Eckhart.
Following ideas are ventured:
-
to have a joint leaflet, perhaps under the heading of „Meister Eckhart: 700 years of life and times“ where all the events for 2028 are listed with, perhaps, 4 international events, starting and ending
-
a „tour d’Eckhart“ through Germany and France
-
Further suggestion to also include our colleagues from Japan; the French Equipe de Recherche sur les Mystiques Rhénans (ERMR); Amador Vega, Barcelona, is planning a type of event (colloquium, conference) with artistic activities (exhibition, concert, art tours, etc.) for 2028.
