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.

"Înainte vreme, un scriitor care voia să spună ceva despre viaţă sau despre moarte scria sus pe carte "Despre viaţă" sau "Despre moarte" şi începea să-şi aştearnă gândurile după cum se pricepea; mai bine sau mai rău, cu experienţa lui şi cu experienţa altora. Acum, există o modă nouă. Acum scrii pe carte Dostoievski sau Nietzsche şi începi să spui ce-ţi trăsneşte ţie prin cap despre tot ce ar fi putut gândi sau nu gândi Dostoievski şi Nietzsche."

The interpretations of Freud are more and more successful because they are among the myths accessible to modern man. The myth of the murdered father, among others, reconstituted and interpreted in Totem and Taboo. It would be impossible to ferret out a single example of slaying the father in primitive religions or mythologies. This myth was created by Freud. And what is more interesting: the intellectual élite accept it (is it because they understand it? Or because it is "true" for modern man?)
