Mircea Eliade (1968) The Sacred and the Profane. The Nature of Religion
ISBN 015679201X | PDF | 5,95 MB | 256 pages

This is a fundamental text for religious scholarship and for living an examined life.Eliade wastes no time trying to explain or define the experience of the sacred in terms of other disciplines (for instance, the sacred as psychological experience (Campbell) or the sacred as sociological phenomenon (Burkert)). Instead, he examines the sacred as sacred. Eliade shows how sacred space and sacred time are supremely REAL space and time, permanent and eternal in opposition to the fluid space and time of the profane world. Homo religiosus re-enacts the primordial deeds of the gods in his rites and, indeed (unlike modern man), in all his acts, because only those primordial acts are truly real. Likewise, irruptions of sacred phenomena into profane space create sacred space, space which is created, which is eternal, which is real.
Read this book before undertaking any serious study of comparative religion. Read this book along with other classics about thought. Read this book and consider your own experience of the sacred. But whatever you do, read this book.

Il fascismo rimosso: Cioran, Eliade, Ionesco - Alexandra Laignel-Lavastine eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Maroutan at Dec. 29, 2016

Emile Cioran, Mircea Eliade e Eugène Ionesco sono riconosciuti come tre importanti classici della cultura francese ed europea della seconda metà del XX secolo. Nati in Romania precisamente a due anni di distanza l’uno dall’altro – nel 1907 Eliade, nel 1909 Ionesco e nel 1911 Cioran – i tre giungeranno, sul filo di percorsi peraltro accidentati, a imporsi come maestri pressoché incontestati, ciascuno nel proprio campo: Cioran come esteta dell’apocalisse e "La Rochefoucauld del XX secolo”; Ionesco, primo scrittore francese ad essere pubblicato, ancora vivente, ne La Plèiade, quale principe dell’assurdo; Eliade come "uno dei più grandi storici delle religioni del nostro tempo”, secondo un’espressione comparsa un po’ ovunque al momento della sua morte, nel 1986…

Mircea Eliade, "Forgerons et alchimistes" eBooks & eLearning

Posted by TimMa at Dec. 11, 2019

Bien connu pour son oeuvre d'historien des religions, Mircea Eliade a été fasciné toute sa vie par l'alchimie. Ce livre en témoigne : il y montre que l'alchimie n'est pas une préfiguration moyenâgeuse de la chimie, vouée aux ténèbres de l'histoire, mais un phénomène culturel positif et digne d'attention. L'alchimie s'enracine dans les croyances des sociétés traditionnelles, où les substances minérales revêtent un caractère sacré. Les minerais, tels des embryons, "croissent" dans le ventre de la Terre ; le fer issu des météorites a une dimension magique parce qu'il provient du ciel…

Mircea Eliade, "Le chamanisme et les techniques archaïques de l'extase" eBooks & eLearning

Posted by TimMa at Nov. 7, 2020

Cet ouvrage de Mircea Eliade fut le premier à embrasser le chamanisme dans sa totalité. On dispose aujourd'hui d'une masse considérable de documents concernant les divers chamanismes (sibérien, nord-américain, indonésien, océanien, etc.) et de nombreux travaux ont amorcé l'étude ethnologique, sociologique et psychologique du chamanisme. Mais, à quelques exceptions près, l'énorme bibliographie chamanique a négligé l'interprétation de ce phénomène extrêmement complexe en le situant dans le cadre de l'histoire générale des religions. …
