Dietrich von Hildebrand Conference in Rome
Readers may be interested in an interdisciplinary Dietrich von Hildebrand Legacy Project conference being held in Rome on May 27-29, 2010. The conference will explore von Hildebrand’s philosophy of love and offer a critical reception of his work, The Nature of Love, recently translated into English. A student of Edmund Husserl, von Hildebrand wrote on matters including ethics, aesthetics, personalism, and phenomenology. His thinking marked my initial formal encounter with philosophy and sparked my interest in the discipline. While my philosophical wanderings have taken me away from his mode of thought, into poisonous swamps, some would say, I remain indebted to his work and grateful for my time studying his philosophy. Kudos to John Henry Crosby, Anthony Gualandri, and the others at the Legacy Project for their promotion of his work and for their efforts to bring von Hildebrand’s thinking into dialogue with other philosophers and multiple disciplines. The conference is titled The Christian Personalism of Dietrich von Hildebrand: Exploring His Philosophy of Love. For more information, visit the conference website: www.hildebrandlegacy.org/rome.
