Phenomenology and Hermeneutics. Mircea Eliade and the magic of interwar years in Bucharest

Mircea Eliade, was one of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and one of the world’s foremost interpreters of religious symbolism and myth. Nowadays Eliade is more studied than ever. Whether one refers to his literary or scientific works, or to his journalistic works from the inter-war period, and his political shift towards the extreme right, Eliade - his oeuvre as well as his personal life - is still taken up by specialists and the public.

From 1934 until the middle of 1938, Mircea Eliade worked as an unpaid assistant to Nae Ionescu, Professor of Metaphysics and Logic at the University of Bucharest. For Eliade, this interval was, as Mac Linscott Ricketts recognizes, “a period of maturation and success [...], in his work as a writer of fiction and religious historian”. The lecture will be focused on Mircea Eliade’s Romanian past and his intellectual evolution during the period 1934-1938.
