The Myth of the Eternal Return
por Mircea Eliade
(0 reseñas)
The "eternal return" is an idea for interpreting religious behavior proposed by the historian Mircea Eliade; it is the belief that through ritual practices (sometimes implicitly, but often explicitly) one is able to merge with or return to the "mythical age"—the actual time of one's myths. It should be distinguished from the philosophical concept of eternal return.
