Mitul reintegrarii

by Mircea Eliade

Publicat in editie princeps la Editura Vremea in 1942, volumul cuprinde doua eseuri teoretice – Polaritatea divina si Mitul androginului – avand o vadita inrudire tematica: integrarea fiintei umane in fiinta cosmosului.


Dovedind un simt speculativ si o aplecare spre gandirea conceptuala greu de gasit la un carturar, Eliade analizeaza acele simboluri si motive stravechi din intelepciunea Orientului care au stat la baza filozofiei occidentale.


Printre ele, nazuinta reintegrarii omului in mersul cosmosului (tema ce strabate toata creatia europeana, de la Faust al lui Goethe la Luceafarul lui Eminescu) si mitul androginului (poate cel mai fecund mit in spatiul european, din el nascandu-se, bunaoara, mistica occidentala sau dialectica hegeliana).
