Publisher's Notes
In a book of great originality and scholarship, a noted historian of religion traces manifestations of the sacred from primitive to modern times, in terms of space, time, nature and the cosmos, and life itself. The Sacred and the Profane serves as an excellent introduction to the history of religion, but its perspective also encompasses philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and psychology. It will be of concern to anyone seeking to discover the potential dimensions of human existence.

The Sacred & the Profane: the Nature of Religion
Eliade, Mircea
This book treats the significance of religious myth, symbolism, and ritual, within life and culture. This is a work of great originality and scholarship. Herein the author traces manifestations of the sacred from primitive to modern times. He does so in terms of space, time, nature, the cosmos, and life itself. He shows how the total, human experience of the religious individual compares to that of the non-religious person. This book, The Sacred and the Profane, serves as an excellent introduction to the history of religion. The author, however, considers philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and psychology. Mircea Eliade (1907-1986) was chairman of the Department of the History of Religions, at the University of Chicago. He also wrote The Myth of the Eternal Return, Patterns in Comparative Religion, and Birth and Rebirth. ( more information)
