Trattato di storia delle religioni
Book • 1948
In this treatise, Mircea Eliade aims to show what religious facts are and what they reveal from an anthropological and humanistic perspective.
The study is centered on the concept of the sacred, contrasting it with the profane, and explores how this phenomenon is manifested in different cultures through 'ierofanie' (manifestations of the sacred).
Eliade examines cosmic and biological hierophanies, myths, and symbols, emphasizing the importance of understanding the dialectic of the sacred and its structures.
The book is an interpretation of religious phenomena that seeks to penetrate the complexity of religious facts and highlight the fundamental religious aspiration to transcend historical reality through ritual and mythic archetypes.
