'...presents to the public the work of the last three years of activities at the Eranos Foundation (2009-2011). The book gathers the conferences organized on the theme of the 2011 Tagung, about fragility in the contemporary world, together with the talks given on the occasion of the seminar cycle called Eranos Jung Lectures during the years 2010-2011 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Carl Gustav Jung's passing away. This publication carries an additional special meaning in further consolidating the collaboration with the Fetzer Institute by presenting the manuscripts of the Dialogues on the Power of Love, held at Eranos between 2008 and 2011. This project follows the path of the original model of Eranos, especially the aspect of dialogue, searching for understanding and deepening crucial themes in the contemporary world.'
