Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - minimal vergilbt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / minimally yellowed, otherwise perfect condition - ivurcea Eiiaae The primary goal of this study is to determine the nature of religion through its various manifestations. It is not a handbook. Instead it is an examination based on sound scholarship of religious facts throughout the ages and their relationship to each other and to the nature of religion as a whole. Since Professor Eliade believes strictly historical, chronological, or categorical approaches to religion are misleading, he views the diverse and chaotic mass of actions, beliefs and systems which go together to make up what one may call the religious phenomenon as something of a very special character which should be studied in itself before it is related to other social, economic, and linguistic factors. Through this approach he leads the reader to a basic understanding of the mystery of religion. ISBN 9780452007284 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 225 17,8 x 2,5 x 12,7 cm, Broschiert / Paperback.
