About the author
Jacques Hébert (March 6, 1938 – June 18, 2007)
The author of this site had university degrees in Arts (Humanities, Science and Philosophy), Theology (traditional Catholic Theology: mainly Thomas Aquinas, in Latin) and Architecture.
He has practiced Architecture professionally for about thirty years. He also practiced choir
singing and vocal ensemble conducting and was interested in the theory of music and musical
interpretation. He was also interested in psychology and epistemology. And of course in the
relations between these different fields.
His Academic formation has made him familiar with Ancient and Medieval European cultures, where the philosophical idea and the graphic motif of the labyrinth were developed. The author has been practicing the labyrinth for more than thirty years, through drawing, meditation, study, verification; he has been involved in a more systematic study of the labyrinth since the beginning of 1999
Before his premature death, he was preparing the publication of a book on the result of his research.
It will surprise no one that an architect developped interest in the figure of the labyrinth. However, it is through his musical experience that he has discovered the true nature of the labyrinth, which is rhythmical.
« From now on, I am singing from somewhere else,
you can always ear me.
Au revoir,
Jacques »
