In 1933 in a secluded villa on the mountainous shore of Lago Maggiore, in Ascona, Switzerland, a group of scholars, organized by the inspired Olga Fröebe-Kapteyn, gathered around C. G. Jung to discuss the research topics they were involved in whether in psychology, religion, anthropology, or the classics. At this conference, the first of the Eranos Conferences or in German, Tagung, a unique tradition was born. And the Eranos Conferences have continued up to this day. They have united some of the most unusual thinkers and personalities of this century with the in-depth research of lesser known scholars. Until this day the Conferences continue to provide a fertile opportunity for meetings and creative discussions. Over the years the Eranos Conferences have become famous for their diversity and breadth of humanistic content. Focusing on general humanist topics, the Conferences often bring to the forefront of discussion Eastern philosophies and religions little known to the West, or cutting edge scientific theories. Over the years the Eranos Conferences have produced over six hundred original works, published in sixty-six volumes of Eranos Yearbooks. Because through the years Eranos has stood for off main-stream thinking and research, today, due to its international and innovative potential, it holds the promise of a substantial contribution to mankind.
