This upcoming May at the University of Santa Croce in Rome, a conference will be held to celebrate the renowned 20th century philosopher, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and explore one of his seminal works that was published in English for the first time last year.
“Our conference,” said John Henry Crosby, founder of the Hildebrand Legacy Project, “seeks to explore the question, 'what is love?' By bringing together philosophers, theologians, psychologists, doctors, scientists, writers, and artists to unpack the original insights of Dietrich von Hildebrand’s most important philosophical work, The Nature of Love.”
“We want to think deeply about what love is, what it is not, and how we can all learn to live it more deeply,” Crosby said.
The Hildebrand Legacy Project was founded in 2004 by John Henry Crosby with the help of his father, Franciscan University professor John F. Crosby, Dr. Alice von Hildebrand and friend Anthony Gualandri as an initiative “to promote the thought and spirit of Dietrich Von Hildebrand by preserving his memory and disseminating his writings, especially in the English speaking world.”
