TOYOHIRA, Taro. Primitive Thought and Historical Sense in Ortega and Eliade. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.241-274. Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i59.1097.
This article studies the possible dialogue, both personal and theoretical, about primitive thought between the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset and the Romanian historian of religion Mircea Eliade. Although it is well known that both got acquainted with each other in Portugal, their theoretical relationship has not been fully studied. However, by analyzing closely their encounters, both personal and philosophical, it seems highly probable that Ortega had a great influence on Eliade’s theory of primitive mentality. For this reason, firstly we analyze the personal contact between the two thinkers recorded in Eliade’s Portugal Journal. Secondly, we examine some important aspects of the theory of primitive thought in Ortega and Eliade in order to clarify their similarities and differences.
