Pohoaţă, Gabriela; Waniek, Iulia
- Abstract
The Romanian anthropological model set up by Dimitrie Cantemir in Descriptio Moldaviae was taken to a higher level of philosophical elaboration and refinement in the thinking of Mircea Eliade, who asserted himself in contemporary anthropological knowledge through a "new philosophical anthropology and a new humanism". This research aims at a novel approach to Mircea Eliade's work, integrating his contribution in the field of the history of religions into a philosophical anthropology centered on the concept of sacredness as a universal dimension of man. Concerned with the issue of human being, Mircea Eliade evokes in his work the mutation that takes place in the mentality of the post-Renaissance European man who lives the desacralization of nature. Viewing man - in fact, the whole humanity - from the perspective of its temporal-historical metamorphoses, Eliade turned his growing interest towards a philosophical anthropology, based on a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. Basically, his approach aims at a new humanism.
