„Mulți dintre noi își exorcizează decepțiile, deprimismul și nevrozele generate de senzația inutilității prin sport, muzică, gastronomie, grădinărit, sex, turism cultural, pescuit sau vânătoare. De ce n‑ar figura calofilia, bibliofilia sau însăși libromania printre metodele de destrămare a constrângerilor? În cuprinsul elitelor, indiferent de meserii și vârste, toată lumea exaltă, fie detectând în trecut, fie proiectându‑și nostalgiile acolo, calitățile elementare de odinioară: buna-cuviință, bunele maniere, buna dispoziție, credința, responsabilitatea, moralitatea, arta de a fi cuminte, înțelept, hedonist cu simț civic și energie coagulant‑comunitară, într‑o bonomie convivială care să constituie și plămada nepoților destinați viitorului. Ce alt simbol ar fi mai nime­rit pentru toate acestea de nu podul plin cu amintirile familiei, care constituie ceea ce reprezintă acoperirea bancară în aur, ca garanție valorică pentru bietele bancnote șifonate care circulă pe piață?“ – DAN C.

Smile of the Buddha

  • Categories: Art

"The relations between eastern and western cultures have long been a neglected topic, and this careful and intelligent look at a small but significant part of those relations is most welcome."--Thomas McEvilley, author of The Shape of Ancient Thought "How wonderful that Jacquelynn Baas has seen the light of the Buddha's smile shining from faraway Asia into the realm of the art of modern times in what we think of as the West! . . . Her work reveals how some of our most influential artists explored and expressed the sophisticated perceptions and joyful energy emanating from the realm of Buddhist Asia."--Robert A. F. Thurman "As a Buddhist scholar and artist I welcome this thoughtful and richly...

Hermeneutics, Politics, and the History of Religions

This volume comprises papers presented at a conference marking the 50th anniversary of Joachim Wach's death, and the centennial of Mircea Eliade's birth. Its purpose is to reconsider both the problematic, separate legacies of these two major twentieth-century historians of religions, and the bearing of these two legacies upon each other. Shortly after Wach's death in 1955, Eliade succeeded him as the premiere historian of religions at the University of Chicago. As a result, the two have been associated with each other in many people's minds as the successive leaders of the so-called "Chicago School" in the history of religions. In fact, as this volume makes clear, there never was a monolithi...

„Paginile acestei cărţi s-au născut dintr-o idee simplă: fiecare om îşi alcătuieşte de-a lungul vieţii un edificiu afectiv. Măsura în care el este e dată de consistenţa acestui edificiu, de mâna aceea de oameni – ei nu pot fi mulţi – pe care i-a preluat în el şi pe care i-a iubit fără rest, fără umbră, şi împotriva cărora spiritul lui critic, chiar dacă a fost prezent, a rămas neputincios. Aceşti oameni puţini care ne fac pe fiecare în parte să nu regretăm că suntem reprezintă, chit că o ştim sau nu, stratul de protecţie care ne ajută să trecem prin viaţă. Fiecare om face faţă la ce i se întâmplă pentru că este protejat în felul acesta. F...

Journal IV

Journal IV is the first publication, in a translation from the Romanian manuscript, of the journal that Mircea Eliade kept during the last seven years of his life. In this period, Eliade is ensconced as a famous scholar—his works are being translated into many languages and books about him arrive regularly in the mail. His encounters with scholars of like repute are recorded in the journal; after a party in Paris, Eliade shares a taxi with Claude Lévi-Strauss and inadvertently makes off with his raincoat. Running like a fault line through the peak of his success, however, is Eliade's painful awareness of his physical decline—failing vision, arthritic hands, and continual fatigue. Again ...
