(Author)

View Author's Page

Mircea Eliade (Bucharest 1907 – Chicago 1986) was a professor at the University of Bucharest, the École des Hautes Études in Paris, the Sorbonne University, and the University of Chicago, where he chaired the Department of History of Religions and taught for thirteen years

During a trip to Italy to finish his doctoral thesis on Renaissance Philosophy, Mircea Eliade came into contact with Hinduism and moved to India for four years to learn the Sanskrit language and Hindu culture and religion. Before settling in France, he spent five years in Lisbon, where he met Ortega y Gasset and came into contact with Spain and intellectuals of the time such as Menéndez Pidal and Eugeni D’Ors, whom he deeply admired

Over time, he became part of the Eranos Circle, a scientific and philosophical analysis organization whose goal was to explore the links between the thought of the East and the West

Mircea Eliade wrote more than 15 essays and three narrative works, and also engaged in journalism in Romania in the 1930s
