Alas...:( He was a real giant. We students of tarot history owe him so much.

May his soul rest in peace.
 

The crowned one

A great philosopher and humanitarian. Rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear this sad news :(. I hope his passing was peaceful.

A life well and fully lived!

Embarrassingly, I was not aware of his significant non-Tarot works until his passing; they are now on my must read list.

Talking about generations

After Jean Claude Flornoy who passed away last may, we assist to a change of generation.
No doubt new Tarot historians will remenber about this persons who put their stone to Tarot amongst other items.

R.I.P Michael Dummett

Thanks for the post and link Ross. Interesting read about Dummett's principled stand on race relations and the British Foreign Office; also to note that some of his colleagues found his philosophical writings hard to understand. He certainly played a major part in shedding light upon tarot.

May he find peace now

Utterly shocking to read this yesterday.... and I agree with Yves - we have lost two great lights of Tarot this year - ready for the next generation to build upon.
