Mircea Eliade-biography etc. 1 Life Mircea Eliade was born in Bucharest, Romania on 13 March 1907. Although Romanian records give his date of birth as 28 February, this is according to the Julian calendar, since the Gregorian calendar was not adopted in Romania until 1924. Eliade’s Orthodox Christian family celebrated his birthday on the Day of the Forty Martyrs, which is 9 March by the Julian calendar, and Eliade himself gave that date as his birthday. Despite a childhood interest in entomology and botany (which doubtless first attracted his attention to Goethe, a lifelong role model and inspiration), he developed an interest in world literature and was led from there to philology, philosophy, and comparative religion. In 1925 Eliade enrolled at the University of Bucharest where he studied in the department of philosophy. He returned to Bucharest in 1932 and successfully submitted his analysis of Yoga as his doctoral thesis at the Philosophy department in 1933. 2 Thought 3 List of Works Comments?

Double bind A double bind is an emotionally distressing dilemma in communication in which an individual (or group) receives two or more conflicting messages, in which one message negates the other. This creates a situation in which a successful response to one message results in a failed response to the other (and vice versa), so that the person will automatically be wrong regardless of response. The double bind occurs when the person cannot confront the inherent dilemma, and therefore can neither resolve it nor opt out of the situation. Double bind theory was first described by Gregory Bateson and his colleagues in the 1950s.[1] Double binds are often utilized as a form of control without open coercion—the use of confusion makes them both difficult to respond to as well as to resist.[2] Double bind theory is more clearly understood in the context of complex systems and cybernetics because human communication and the mind itself function in an interactive manner similar to ecosystems. History[edit]
Emil Cioran Romanian philosopher and essayist Emil Cioran (Romanian: [eˈmil t͡ʃoˈran] ( listen); 8 April 1911 – 20 June 1995) was a Romanian philosopher and essayist, who published works in both Romanian and French. Early life[edit] Cioran was born in Resinár (Rășinari), Szeben County, which was part of Austria-Hungary at the time. Cioran had a good command of German. Career[edit] Berlin and Romania[edit] In 1933, he received a scholarship to the University of Berlin, where he came into contact with Klages and Nicolai Hartmann. Cioran’s first book, On the Heights of Despair (literally translated: "On the Summits of Despair"), was published in Romania in 1934. Although Cioran was never a member of the group, it was during this time in Romania that he began taking an interest in the ideas put forth by the Iron Guard—a far right organization whose nationalist ideology he supported until the early years of World War II, despite allegedly disapproving of their violent methods.

Introducción a la Filosofía Moderna - Filosofía ¡Bienvenidos al maravilloso mundo de la filosofía moderna! En esta sección vamos a comenzar a dar los primeros pasos en lo que respecta a esta etapa de la historia del pensamiento. La filosofía moderna nace en el siglo XV, justo cuando el hombre se comienza a dar cuenta que las explicaciones que antes valían para explicar todo, ya no valen. Y no es que el hombre moderno haya sido un incrédulo, pero resulta ser que aparecen en escena personajes como Nicolás Copérnico y de pronto el hombre descubre que la Tierra no era el centro del Universo. Que ese sol que veíamos brillar muy arriba en los cielos era ahora el protagonista de todo. Entonces, a la par que se descubrían nuevas cosas, se empieza a dar una revolución dentro de la ciencia y de la historia del pensamiento, y será la filosofía moderna la encargada de mostrarnos cuáles fueron las respuestas que dieron aquellos filósofos modernos, aquellos que empezaron a tener más confianza en la razón que en Dios.
