 Paul Tillich 19.09.1942 Helen Neuman Korrespondenz mit Helen NeumanBrief von Artur F. Michel an Paul Tillich vom 12. September 1942Brief von Joseph Lash an Paul Tillich vom 18. Februar 1942 Englisch Initiale Auszeichnung des Transkripts
September 19, 1942 Miss Helen L. Neumann National Refugee Service Inc. 139 Centre Str N.Y.C. Dear Miss Neumann:

Mr. Artur F/ Michel has asked me to write a few words about him to you. May I give you the following statement:

Mr. A. F. Michel is known to me since the first year after the first world war when the great movement of modern artistic dance came to its heights in post- war democratic Germany. Mr. Michel became at that time the most famous critic of the whole movement. His interpretation in the Vossische Zeitung were decisive for the valuation of the different dance groups of that time. As Professor in Dresden, the center of the whole movement, I had many occasions to observe the influence Michel had by criticism and personal relationship to all leadres of the artistic dance movement, especially on the outstanding figure Maty Wigman.

At the same time Michel became a scholar in the history and philosophy of dance who knows more about it than anybody whom I could mention. A history of the European theatre dance coming from his pen would be an event for the scientific, artistic and philosophical interpretation of this characteristic side of the development of European civilization. It would unite scientific thoroughness with an immediate intuitive approach as rarely will be found again in this realm.

Very sincerely yours Paul Tillich Professor at Union Theological Seminary, New York City

Mr. Artur F. Michel is known to me since the first year after the first world- war when the great movement of modern artistic dance came to its heights in post-war democratic Germany. Mr. Arthur Michel became at that time the most famous critic of the whole movement. His interpretations in the Vossische Zeitung were decisive for the valuation of the different dance groups at that time. As Professor in Dresden, the center of the whole movement, I had many occasions to observe the influence Michel had by criticism and personal relationship to all leaders of the artistic dance movement, especially on the outstanding figure Mary Wigman.

At the same time Michel became a scholar in the history and philosophy of dance who knows more about it than anybody whom I could mention. A history of the European theatre dance coming from his pen would be an event for the scientific, artistic and philosophical interpretation of this characteristic side of the development of European civilization. It would unite scientific thoroughness with an immediate intuitive approach as rarely will be found again in this realm.

Paul Tillich (20. August 1886 – 22. Oktober 1965) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Religionsphilosoph. Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Feldprediger im Ersten Weltkrieg lehrte er an verschiedenen Universitäten in Deutschland, bis er 1933 emigrieren musste und in den USA wirkte, unter anderem in New York, Harvard und Chicago. Tillich entwickelte eine Theologie der Kultur und verstand Religion als das „was uns unbedingt angeht“. In seiner „Systematic Theology“ formulierte er die Methode der Korrelation und deutete Gott als „Macht des Seins“. Seine Arbeiten verbinden Theologie, Philosophie und Existenzdenken und hatten großen Einfluss auf das religiöse Denken der Moderne.
