	Mircea Eliade-biography etc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Eliade's analysis of religion assumes the existence of "the sacred" as the object of worship of religious humanity.
		Eliade himself repeatedly identifies the sacred as the real, yet he states clearly that "the sacred is a structure of human consciousness" (1969 i; 1978, xiii).
		Eliade does state that believers for whom the hierophany is a revelation of the sacred must be prepared by their experience, including their traditional religious background, before they can apprehend it.

	The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga
		Eliade had read Evola’s early philosophical works during the 1920s and “admired his intelligence and, even more, the density and clarity of his prose.” An intellectual friendship developed between the young Romanian scholar and the Italian philosopher, who was nine years Eliade’s senior.
		Eliade contends that the perception of time as an homogenous, linear, and unrepeatable medium is a peculiarity of modern and non-religious humanity.
		Eliade himself repeatedly identifies the sacred as the real, yet he states clearly that "the sacred is a structure of human consciousness" (1969 i; 1978, xiii).

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Mircea Eliade - The Sacred and the Profane: The Nature of Religion at Epinions.com
		While Eliade accepts the tag 'historian of religions', he is not writing an history of religions in the strict sense of the word: in fact, historical and cultural conditioning play a very small role in The Sacred and the Profane.
		Eliade has written in other books that homo religiosus is the total man: that is, he is someone whose every word and gesture carries the utmost signification, whereas modern man, living in a desacralized cosmos, usually acts with purely utilitarian goals.
		Eliade contends that a thorough understanding of homo religiosus and what remains of that figure in the secular world could lead to a rebirth of modern man. As he suggests in the book's final chapter, the human life itself, with its daily trials, dreams, pains and joys, brims with religious symbols.

	P.1: From Mircea Eliade to Carlos Castaneda
		Few researchers have evaluated the man or critiqued the book, but a growing numbers of critics are placing Eliade and his approach to the history of religions in context, specifically his armchair anthropology and the impact of a literary imagination on his supposedly factual work.
		Eliade's approach was heavily influenced by his Christian beliefs.
		Eliade's implicit agenda was to search for examples of celestial ascent, a Supreme Being and comparable themes in shamanisms and 'primitive' religion, to authenticate his belief that all shamanistic religions displayed a global Ur-Christianity.

	NOTES on Mircea Eliade, The Sacred and The Profane:
		In a later essay, Eliade described his procedure in more detail as the interpretation of symbols and “symbolisms.” The task of the historian of religion is both to research instances of religious language and action and also to discern the general structures of behavior which these instances exemplify.
		Eliade finds similar correlations between the religio-political act of occupying a territory and the divine creation of the cosmos in the rituals associated with the clearing of farm fields in Ireland (31) and the victorious “planting” of the Christian cross in the ancient Indian empires of Latin America by European Conquistadors (32).
		Eliade’s most dramatic example of the disastrous effects of losing “the close connection between cosmicization and consecration” is the story of the Achilpa clan of the Arunta tribe of Australian aborigines.

	MIRCEA ELIADE: THE SACRED & THE PROFANE - 1 Sacred Space (Summary)
		Eliade proposes to show how religious man differed from the non-religious man of modern societies, who lives in 'a desacralised cosmos' [p 13] [2].
		Eliade claims that, whereas for non-religious man the spatial aspect of the world is basically experienced as uniformly neutral, for religious man it was experienced as non-homogeneous, partly sacred and partly not so.
		Eliade notes that something of this way of thinking persists in his contemporary world, in talk of dark forces threatening to plunge civilisation into chaos.

	Mircea Eliade (1907-1986)
		Eliade, of course, is coming out of the kind of theory found in Otto, which is only minimally different from the philosophy of religion in Nelson and Fries; and Nelson and Fries are in many ways still four-square Kantians.
		Eliade could endorse the movement only because at first he did not believe it was, as it did not present itself at first as, a political party at all.
		Eliade hoped it was precisely the sort of grass roots moral and spiritual movement that he wanted, and he relied on the judgment of his academic mentor that this was so.

		Eliade was classically trained as a comparativist and is today best known for his efforts to establish what at Chicago is called "history of religions" as an autonomous, academic discipline, distinct from anthropological, psychological, or sociological studies of religion.
		His largely successful approach to accomplishing this, adopted by others both before and after him, was to argue for the sui generis nature of religion, thereby requiring distinct methods for its study and distinct institutional locations for carrying out this research.

		Particular consideration is given to whether Eliade makes any lasting contribution to our ability to deal with the changing face of religion and the ability to "change over" into the religious world of the other and to see through the eyes of the other.
