Thank you ☺️

This lecture predicts the mental health crisis. This is amazing

Never expected Eliade being added to your videos! What a treat!

I've read two Eliade books and both changed my worldview.

Yeah, agreed. It really was a pleasant surprise

Many congratulations ! It's a very decent presentation of the book. Although I am a Romanian , I prefer to read it in the French translation (from the Romanian manuscript). "Le mythe de l'éternel retour" (1945-1947) Gallimard, Paris, 1949

Incredible text. Eliade rarely gets the credit he deserves

Nor the blame for working for and with the Iron Guard fascists - Great scholar yes -but he sympathized with the Nazis when it counted as did Cioran -and both tried to hide it

Thank you for this post. He lived and loved my city Kolkata. Eliade deserves more.

A character not mentioned enough in broader historical conversation.

Thanks Dr. Staloff for an excellent lecture.

Reading Eliade changed my life.

So fascinating. Glad i found you Dr Staloff

Great lecture, as always. Thank you for making this available.

Pretty sure Dr Sugrue was a student of Mircea Eliade at the University of Chicago

Great lecture and I was so amped when he mentions eternal recurrence, thought it would fit into this subject

I might be mistaken, but this might be from the Historical Theory course by Staloff for the Great Courses. It went out of print many years ago and I've been hunting it down for over a decade. I'm getting so much value out of this channel that I will join its Patreon/Join option.

This is beautiful. That ending is so true. Now we have Betterhelp and Headspace.

11:15 Profound. Thank you, sir.

Love these! ❤

It's pronounce "Meer-cha". I used to work with a guy who had the same first name.

These ideas would be immensely useful in AI and Machine design

i appreciate you posting this content!! look forward to your next vid!! leave a like and comment for support y’all!!

Dude you've more than adequately learned your craft from Dr. Sugrue

"His prediction is that we will end up giving huge amounts of money to psychiatrists and psychologists" XD that made me giggle.

Eliade came out of the Romanian intensity intelligentsia of em Cioran , Petra Tutrea , Inenesco and others .

Greatest Romanian ever! 😊😁

Maybe someone could help sync the audio to the video before they're released. These vids deserve as much imo

Yes, and some need a little work in noise suppression. I am confident that people - given the opportunity- would be willing to offer their skills to improve the technical aspects of these valuable lectures.

Great lecture. Still topical as we are, of course, still in the Kali Yuga -- it's more apparent than ever. I get the impression that the speaker is voicing his own opinion as much as he is giving us Eliade's (and I'm not implying that that's a bad thing). This has reignited my wish to read Eliade's works. Previously I have only read sacred texts anthologised by him.

​@@sangwaraumo the Kali Yuga is said to last for about 432,000 years, so I'd say quite a few generations in a row can claim that and be right.. hehe. I don't mean it that literally (in terms of the number of years and so on) but Western civilisation is certainly on a massive downturn, while others may not be.

@@Vingul I believe that ever since the advent of language, we have had people thinking they're at history's end. Life has been miserable for a good chunk of humanity since the whole chebang - as it is for most animals. And while we're not doing much better than the last generation, there are some improvements. Sure we need to put some effort for a better world, but the one we have isn't so bad.

31:27 After watching the Vico video, I interpret the killing of the goddess which produces the banana plant as a client (famuli) uprising against the patriachs which secures more freedoms, in this case food.

Is the belief in Reincarnation an example of belief in the myth of the eternal return based on cyclical time?

He was definitely influenced here by Spengler and Nietzsche which bring back the conversation of a cyclic view of history in the Western Canon.

The Video is Out of sync with the soundtrack of the speech. ☆☆☆

Dang Eliade has influenced a lot I’m now realizing. This all felt like review but I’ve yet to get to Eliade on my bookshelf. And does anyone know how to really pronounce his name?

Marx? No. Primitive accumulation is a consequence of a primitive communism. Communism is man's return to paradise. Hegel? No. The absolute is the pure Nothing ("Das Nichts"), the Being that has Become. It has returned to itself as Everything, ("Die Alles") which has no difference, and is therefore Nothing at all. Augustine? Yes.

"Make a return to the GREAT times" Hmm...

Universal conflagration = the big crunch

Eliade - Cioran - Ionesco. How I would have loved a cup of coffee in a bistrot on Paris with those 3 guys

And ... in case God does not exist, where do these theories and arguments go? Dang me, on what a huge assumption does this historian-philosopher's ideas hinge.

Once again wee learn that the Hebrews nailed it while the rest of humanity was still climbing trees and worshipping the Moon. Astonishing.

They've done well for a racist cult yeah.

It's motonony to you because you hate yourself and have lost your spirituality. Novelty is of the spirit, not the flesh. It's yourself that you are bored with, not your circumstances.

This should be the only thing you care about Jenny. And this is in our Marriage.
