Hillman was full of paradoxes: Wonderfully European, deep-cultured and multilingual, yet a born American, jazzy, ever improvising, a rebel subverting the old dogmas. He saw through, endlessly, like a postmodern deconstructionist. And yet he saw, vividly, the gods, the spirits, the depths, like an ancient poet. He held an allegiance to the fallen world, yet he risked a large vision. Above all, Hillman championed the imagination in its high rightful place at the center of human reality. And he saw the anima mundi, the soul of the world, in ways no one had seen before. Join Richard Tarnas for a thoughtful day-long exploration of James Hillman’s extraordinary life and work.
