Abstract

Philip Vanhaelemeersch started his graduate work at the University of Oxford passionate about Mircea Eliade’s scholarly contributions in the realm of philosophy and history of religion. His interests developed to extend to the philosophical discourse during the period of Eliade’s youth in Bucharest, Romania: the 1920s and 30s. This research constituted his doctoral dissertation, which was subsequently published as A Generation “Without Beliefs” and the Idea of Experience in Romania (2006). This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in the intellectual and cultural history of Europe to discover a vibrant philosophical discourse in Romania. This is the first work in English on Romania’s philosophy of experience ( experienţa ) and an important contribution to the existing literature on what is most frequently referred to as the Young Generation or Generation 1927 of Romanian intellectuals, of which Eliade was the self-appointed leader. Intellectual histories about Romania tackling the same figures in English include Zigu Ornea’s The Romanian Extreme Right. The Nineteen Thirties (1999), Leon Volovici’s Nationalist Ideology and Anti-Semitism: the Case of Romanian Intellectuals in the 1930s (1991) and Irina Livezeanu’s ‘Generational Politics and the Philosophy of Culture: Lucian Blaga between Tradition and Modernism.’ Austrian History Yearbook Volume
