About Mircea Eliade
Mircea Eliade (13 March 1907 {O.S. 28 February} – 22 April 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. His most enduring and influential contribution to religious studies was possibly his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply record or imitate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them.

Dar cel care a cunoscut unirea aceea de neînțeles pentru experiența și mintea omenească, știe că de la un anumit nivel viața nu mai are sfârșit, că omul moare pentru că e singur, e despărțit, despicat în două, dar că printr-o mare îmbrățișare se regăsește pe sine într-o ființă cosmică, autonomă și eternă.
