TEHRAN -- A Persian translation of “Images and Symbols”, a book written by the renowned Romanian philosopher Mircea Eliade has recently been published in Iran.
Released by Parseh Books, “Images and Symbols” has been translated into Persian by Mohammad-Kazem Mohajeri.
In this book, Mircea Eliade shows that myths and symbols constitute a mode of thought that not only came before that of discursive and logical reasoning, but also remains an essential function of human consciousness.
He describes and analyzes some of the most powerful and ubiquitous symbols that have ruled the mythological thinking of East and West in many times and at many levels of cultural development.
Mircea Eliade (1907 –1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago.
He was a leading interpreter of religious experience, who established paradigms in religious studies that persist to this day.
