Conference on "Language and Image Formation"
The focus of the conference is on the mediation of the transcendent. When reaching for the transcendent, symbolic and metaphorical language and images are often used.Metaphors and images display how mediation of the transcendent at the same time can be understood as revelation and construction, impression and expression. The image formation related to the experience of the transcendent thus displays both a surplus and a lack. Holding this dialectic between the visible and the invisible in mind the research group behind In-visibilis is interested in historical and systematic investigations of the mediation of the transcendent: Reaching from the concept of language and images in the mystical and scholastic tradition and in protestant theology to reflections upon the theme in contemporary theology and philosophy.
