"E shenjta dhe profania" është ndoshta teksti më i famshëm e një nga më të rëndësishmit e këtij autori. Në të, Eliade analizon dy koncepte kyçe të fesë dhe mënyrën se si ky dualizëm (e shenjtë-profane) paraqitet në kultura e fe të ndryshme të historisë. no reviews | add a review
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. -- page 4 of cover. No library descriptions found. |
