Leonardo’s Letter to the Defterdar of Syria: A New Twist on Leonardo’s Puzzling Identity

– by Hasan Kaplan, PhD, Professor of Islamic Studies, Ibn Haldun University

Thursday, May 31st, 2018, @ 3:30 pm - 4:20 pm 

Abstract:

Drawing on certain life events and the cultural ethos of the time, this study aims to shed some light on Leonardo’s puzzling personality. Guided by Eriksonian insight, some psycho-social issues of his young adult years will be highlighted. Thus, this paper brings forth various biographical and historical data that points to a tragic image of Leonardo quite different from what has been traditionally presented to us.

Bio of the Presenter:

Hasan Kaplan, PhD, is Professor of Islamic Studies at Ibn Haldun University in Istanbul, Turkey. He is President of the Turkish Association for the Psychology of Religion.  He is currently working on a chapter about "psychohistory" as a method in historical studies, which will be published soon as a textbook.
