Lecture | Spiritual Experience: A Lecture

Monday, February 22, 2016, 6:30 pm

Free

A talk by professor Hent de Vries, Russ Family Professor in the Humanities and Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University.

Taking its lead from a central motif in authors as diverse as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Rainer Maria Rilke, Theodor W. Adorno, and now also Peter Sloterdijk, this lecture explores the fate of the concept and practice of "geistige Erfahrung," translated here as spiritual experience, that neither speculative philosophy nor dogmatic theology, indeed, neither normative ethics nor aesthetic theory have so far succeeded in rendering intelligible and plausible in its full meaning and overall force ​as a philological and philosophical, literary and political category of modern thought.
