Perspectives on Mystical Vision and Aesthetic Experience, 18th Aug 2025

Dear MTN friends,

The 20th biennial conference of the American Cusanus Society and the International Seminar on Pre-Reformation Theology is coming up! Tomorrow, August 19, is the last day to register for in-person or virtual attendance.

The American Cusanus Society, continuing its longstanding partnership with United Lutheran Seminary, will hold its 20th biennial conference in Gettysburg, PA, on September 18-21, 2025. The conference will focus on the role of vision and the sensorial world in mystical texts. Inspired by the all-seeing icon described in Nicholas of Cusa’s De visione dei, the conference seeks to explore the interplay between vision, sensation, imagination, affect, aesthetic experience, and mysticism in Cusanus and his milieu with an eye toward contemporary concerns.

The exciting programme has been published on the website of the American Cusanus Society, and can also be downloaded in searchable pdf-format here.

This year’s plenary speakers are CJ Jones (University of Notre Dame) and Niklaus Largier (University of California, Berkeley).
