Imagination in Corbin & Eliade - Adriana Berger (1986)

"Cultural Hermeneutics: The Concept of Imagination in the Phenomenological Approaches of Henry Corbin and Mircea Eliade," Adriana Berger. The Journal of Religion, Vol. 66, No. 2 (Apr., 1986), pp. 141-156.

Some of Berger's later work is part of the extensive critique and discussion of Eliade's fascist and antisemitic roots. (See for example her chapter in Harrowitz, Nancy A. Tainted Greatness: Antisemitism and Cultural Heroes. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1994.) On this also see Wasserstrom, Steven M. Religion after Religion: Gershom Scholem, Mircea Eliade, and Henry Corbin at Eranos. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999. (Though Wasserstrom's treatment of Corbin is at best unfair and misleading, those with an interest in Corbin's work should be aware of the nature of the criticisms that have been leveled against him.)
