This article also suggests that this revisitation of Eliade would benefit greatly if it simultaneously made use of the many excellent scholarly studies of symbols and symbolization that have been published during the last twenty years or so by linguists, paleoanthropologists, ethologists, cognitive neuroscientists, theologians, and psychologists. This paper concludes by revisiting Eliade’s persistent fascination with the paranormal and suggests some ways that revalorizing both the symbolic and the paranormal might be productive directions for further research
