Magisterial
The Triumph of the Idea of Ideas Next is the story of Islam - or rather Muhammed - and how he became a warrior-ruler, leading his tribe to ever larger victories over Christendom.The lonely years of Judaism (from the fall of the Roman Empire to late in the Middle Ages) is given a empathetic hearing before moving onto the church in the Middle Ages, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.Finally, a last look at Buddhism, the Tibetan way.ALways informative and entertaining, provocative with his conclusions.
Very good, just like the other parts of the series There are also some downsides to the book. One, it cannot be taken as the"state-of-the-art" of religous study. Eliade has been surpassedby new research in the field. It is therefore better to use the book as ageneral background. Second, it has been shown that Eliade unfortunatelydeveloped the habit of sometimes stretching the truth to fit his analysis.He did not use this questionable method to such an extent as to render hiswhole analysis worthless but it does cast a shadow on his academichonesty. BTW, I do not feel qualified to comment on his treatment ofreligious phenomena outside the Judeo-Christian cultural sphere. ... Read more |

It's Not About the Exercises
A Masterpiece
Recommended by a former student of the author's
All serious yoga scholars have this book or want it Eliade was a nearly legendary scholar of indefatigable energy, and so it is not surprising that this is the definitive single volume academic work on yoga in English (that I am aware of).George Feuerstein's coffee table sized The Yoga Tradition: Its History, Literature, Philosophy and Practice (1998) is a different sort of book, covering yoga from a more practical point of view, and is accessible to a general public.Eliade's book is aimed directly and just about exclusively at academicians.Furthermore, while Feuerstein is a practitioner as well as a scholar, Eliade makes no pretense of first hand experience.As he relates in the Forward, he is interested in the discovery and interpretation of yoga by the West.He wants to explain that in detail.His is a "comparatively full exposition of the theory and practices of yoga...[a] history of its forms, and...its place in Indian spirituality..." (p. xx)The qualifying "comparatively" is a bit of modesty on the part of Eliade.This book really is a "full exposition" (insofar as that is possible) including the ideas, symbolism and methods of yoga "as they are expressed in tantrism, in alchemy, in folklore, in the aboriginal devotion of India." (p. xxii) The text, which includes lengthy chapters such as, "Yoga and Brahmanism," "Yoga Techniques in Buddhism," "Yoga and Tantrism," "Yoga and Alchemy," etc. runs for 362 dense pages.Sixty-six pages of notes follow, and then a most extensive and valuable bibliography.The Index itself is 47 pages long and concludes with a by-line(!), "Index by Bart Winer," which is only right considering the text was written and set before the age of computers. This is not a book for practitioners of yoga but a book for students and scholars of the literature of yoga.It is a challenge to read and appreciate and only really accessible to those with some experience with the literature.There is probably no serious yoga book written in the past quarter century that fails to cite it.

The concluding volume to a magnum opus
The Apex of the Trilogy This volume is the best of the three, dealing with such divergent religious ideas as Buddhism, Hinduism, other Eastern religions, Judaism and Christianity.One should never forget that these three books are about religious ideas - not religion per se, and as such, the discussion is of a more theoretical nature.Philosophical concerns bubble to the surface as we began to ask ourselves why we worshipped as we did. A very clear explication and history of Eastern thought is thoroughly discussed.New concepts are introduced as religious thought ranges from the morality of Chinese wise men to the pantheon of Hindu gods to the godless (but soon to be god) teachings of Buddha.As he notes, Buddha never attempted to present his teachings with any kind of structure.The various groupings and sayings were assembled after his death by his disciples.The same can be said of Jesus. In discussing Judaism he stresses its utter uniqueness in the belief in only one god, Yahweh.This could be accomplished once the Israeli's forswore their primitive animism and saw God not as just a protector but as a Creator as well.The beginnings of Christianity are an exciting read with the maelstrom of religious ideas encircling and thriving off one another - Mithraism, Gnosticism, Manichaenism, the Ebionites, Greek gods...and out of this mix, Christianity triumphed having borrowed something from each of these groups. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Changing Religious Worlds measures the nature and significance of Mircea Eliade's contribution to the understanding and academic study of religion in North America today. It includes the perspectives of the continent's leading experts on Eliade and his thought, both critical and supportive. It also includes previously unpublished fiction and journal entries from Eliade himself. The book ponders whether it is time to leave Eliade behind or whether we can yet learn from either his insights or his errors, and whether the changing world has left Eliade behind or whether it is finally catching up with him. Particular consideration is given to whether Eliade makes any lasting contribution to our ability to deal with the changing face of religion and the ability to "change over" into the religious world of the other and to see through the eyes of the other. |
