Birthdate

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Mircea Eliade states that his birthdate is March 9, 1907, near the end of the book, this is reiterated, "On the ninth of March I reached thirty years of age." This birthdate would give Mr. Eliade a Capricorn Moon (as opposed to a Pisces Moon, if March 13th is correct), aside from the fact that Mr. Eliade has a Sun/Saturn conjunction in the sign of Pisces, indicating that his nature is heavily Saturnine, of a similar quality of the sign Capricorn-ruled by Saturn, or Kronos, Father Time. A Capricorn Moon seems very plausible, as references to reoccurring melancholia, around the issue of lost time, the Moon would have to be considered a major factor in determining the origin of the melancholic episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.28.156.136 (talk) 02:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Fantastic literature! Not fantasy!

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Mircea Eliade didn't write "fantasy". Fantasy means that it involves dragons, goblins , hobbits and imaginary worlds like: LOTR, Warcraft etc. Fantastic literature on the other hand is something different. Mircea Eliade was fond of Supernatural, believed in Mysticism, studied Orientalism, Yoga, hinduism, spirituality and the Philosophy of Religion. And his novels reflected that: Tinereţe fără tinereţe ("Youth Without Youth") La ţigănci ("With the Gypsy Girls"), are fantastic novels (see "fantastic" article on wikipedia). Not fantasy! I repeat: what Mircea Eliade wrote wasn't fantasy!

I think you're using an excessively restrictive definition of "fantasy". According to the current Wikipedia article on hard fantasy, hard fantasy may "feature alternative geography and cultures without the presence of magic, dragons, andelves stereotypically found in many other fantasy settings". And let's not forget magical realism, which is commonly classified as fantasy but which need not involve imaginary worlds in any way. --Phatius McBluff (talk) 13:12, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

elision

He also served as cultural attaché to the United Kingdom and Portugal.

elision : for the Nazi occupation gov't during WWII

as per the de.wikipedia.org article

expilicit versus unmentioned

The de.wikipedia.org article is explicit in recounting the facts and this article skates both over and around the known facts.

Was someone from U. Chicago involved ? Can we find someone unassociated with the Eliade fans to edit this in keeping with the established historical record ?

Philosophical school?

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It would be helpful if this article could situate Eliade within a particular school of thought - e.g. Kantian, existentialist, etc.

He seems to be Kantian on some levels (interest in transcendental a-prior structures of the human mind - similar to Jung, Guénon, Corbin etc.)

But he seems phenomenological or Heideggerian in other ways - or at least to be couching his insights in language that would be acceptable to the phenomenological tradition. 86.42.142.175 (talk) 10:36, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Time to correct the historical record

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

He was a leading interpreter of religious experience, who established paradigms in religious studies that persist to this day.

Except he was completely wrong about the role of drugs in shamanism, and retracted his opinion before he died. Unfortunately, the serious damage he did to academic research on this subject persisted for decades. (Walter & Fridman 2004:112) This needs to be noted in the article.

Eliade works belong to the fantastic and autobiographical genres

Does his "literary works belong to the fantastic and autobiographical genres"?

That's like indexing The Bible as a Super-Hero Fantasy story. Eliade studied History of Religions and was seminal into the doctrine of Phenomenology of religion. It took him 11 years to write the 'Traité d'histoire des religions, 1949 - Patterns in Comparative Religion', more time than any fiction he wrote.

Eliade main work "Religious History Treatise" – Patterns in Comparative Religion – is barely present

Eliade's grand œuvre "Religious History Treatise" is barely touched in the article, while the section "Controversy" is too lenghy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Eldritch (talk • contribs) 15:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
