Scope and content
Zuckerkandl reflects on the importance Eranos has had on his life and work. He thanks Fröbe-Kapteyn for making such things a reality for him. He explains that his stay in America transitioned from a possible “final station” to a “passing station” through which he has found another starting point. This new beginning for him is back in Europe. He thanks Fröbe-Kapteyn for creating a place where people can come together to share their ideas about man and art, and briefly alludes to his topic for the 1962 conference [about the relationship of man to his work]. He mentions a work by [Wladimir] Weidlé on the transcendence of artworks that fascinated him, says that [Emil] Preetorius might be interested in attending next year’s conference as auditor, and that [Yehudi] Menuhin seems to also be interested. Zuckerkandl suggests a possible arrangement with the Végh quartet.
