LECTURE: How is Jacob Böhme relevant today? The creative use of Böhme's ideas by twentiethcentury authors and the peculiar case of Philip K. Dick - by Scott Brown.
This lecture is part of the conference ‘The Role of the Netherlands in the Reception of Jacob Böhme’ from 6 - 8 October 2019. The mystical philosopher Jacob Böhme (1575-1624) was a prolific writer, but did not intend to publish any of his works. Yet he enjoyed an impressive international reception. The Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular played a key role in the dissemination of Böhme’s thought: it is here that main editions of his works were published. This conference is organised by Claudia Brink, Lucinda Martin and Cecilia Muratori as part of the ‘Jacob Böhme Exhibition Project’ supported by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. The next exhibition on Böhme will be organized in collaboration with the Embassy of the Free Mind, also the venue of the exhibition ‘Eye for the World. The visionary thinker Jacob Böhme’ from 14th December 2019-15 March 2020.
