SACRED AND THE PROFANE

Author: Eliade, Mircea

Description from The Reader's Catalog
Eliade's incomparably fluent exploration of recurrent themes in world religions--an excellent introduction

From The Publisher
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.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Author Note from The Reader's Catalog
Born in Bucharest, educated in Calcutta, and a professor at the Sorbonne before settling at the University of Chicago, Eliade was considered the foremost authority on religion in the world. He was also an original writer of fiction and short stories, blending philosophy, mythology, fantasy, and personal narrative.
