The sacred and the profane
Mircea Eliade Willard R Trask
The sacred and the profane : the nature of religion - New York : Harcourt, Brace & World, 1959. - 256 pages 22 cm.
Sacred space and making the world sacred --
Sacred time and myths --
The sacredness of nature and cosmic religion --
Human existence and sanctified life --
Chronological survey: The "history of religions" as a branch of knowledge.
Famed historian of religion Mircea Eliade observes that even moderns who proclaim themselves residents of a completely profane world are still unconsciously nourished by the memory of the sacred. Eliade traces manifestations of the sacred from primitive to modern times in terms of space, time, nature, and the cosmos. In doing so he shows how the total human experience of the religious man compares with that of the nonreligious. This book serves as an excellent introduction to the history of religion, but its perspective also emcompasses philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and psychology. It will appeal to anyone seeking to discover the potential dimensions of human existence.
