Scope and content

Zuckerkandl expresses concern based on not having heard from Fröbe-Kapteyn in some time. He informs her that his lecture is developing well [“Der singende und der sprechende Mensch,” for Eranos 1961] in which he will talk about space and complementarity. Zuckerkandl relates a dinner shared with [Emil] Preetorius, and [Wladimir] Weidlé and his wife. Zuckerkandl is convinced Weidlé is an ideal candidate for Eranos, he cites a passage from an article on the reconciliation of spiritual and natural sciences titled “Biologie de l’art” published in Diogène April 1957. Preetorius is busy with his project and will be bringing many materials to Eranos. The postscript mentions a cookbook that Zuckerkandl will return to Fröbe-Kapteyn.
