A New York Times obituary yesterday reported the
June 6 death, at 91, of a Harvard professor who dealt with
the relations between science and society —
“ 'Everett was one of a new generation of social historians
of science who insisted that it was not enough to pay attention
to the internal intellectual story of science,' Anne Harrington,
the Franklin L. Ford professor of the history of science at Harvard,
said by email. 'The field needed to attend also to how science was
shaped by and also helped shape the conditions of the social world.' ”
Consider as well Scarlett Johansson on Alan Watts in "Her" (2013)
and Harrington on intellectual history in Cuernavaca . . .
| By 1956, Fromm was dining at Suzuki’s part-time home in New York City, and talking with him about ways in which Zen could contribute to a wholesale reimagining of psychoanalytic therapeutics and theory (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). By this time, also, Fromm was himself spending considerable periods of time at a new home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. At one point he suggested that Suzuki consider moving in with him permanently. When Suzuki politely declined, Fromm conceived instead a major conference based in Mexico that would try to take stock of the entire current state of the conversation between Zen and psychotherapy (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). In 1957, some fifty psychotherapists—double the original expected number—participated in a week of presentations and discussions. Fromm later recalled the event as a magical time: what began as a traditional conference with the usual ‘over-emphasis on thoughts and words' changed over a few days, as people 'became more concentrated and more quiet.' |
