Mircea Eliade Mircea Eliade (Romanian: [ mirt e a eli ade];
March 13 [O.S. February 28] 1907 April 22, 1986) was a Romanian
historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor
at the University of Chicago. He was a leading interpreter of
religious experience, who established paradigms in religious
studies that persist to this day. His theory that hierophanies form
the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality
into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential.[1]
One of his most influential contributions to religious studies was
his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do
not simply commemorate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of
the religious, actually participate in them[ mirt e a eli ade]O.S.
