- Authors

- Abstract
Ioan Petru Culianu is mostly known as Mircea Eliade's disciple. Needless to sag he is an autonomous thinker, but his work was influenced by his readings. This is the reason why we need to identify the influences from various sources, but also the matters for which Culianu chooses a different path. Also the present study presents a few aspects concerning Culianu's working method identified with morphology. The morphological research is inspired by Goethe's thinking and developed by Propp and Eliade. In all of these cases the part reveals the whole. Culianu defines morphology as a classification of structures by which the mind works. These structures are identified with the myth. The result is that all diverse contexts are the result of limited combinations.
