Abstract
Mircea Eliade, Carl Schmitt, and René Guénon, 1942 This article deals with the relationship between the historian of religions Mircea Eliade and the political scientist Carl Schmitt. Eliade met Schmitt for the first time in Berlin during the summer of 1942, when the Romanian writer and scholar was an attaché of his country's Embassy in Lisbon. A few months later, Schmitt told his friend Ernst Jünger that Eliade was a follower of René Guénon. By discussing the different attitudes of Eliade and Schmitt towards Guénon's ideas, the Author tries to throw light on the history of Eliade's formative years.
