Description
A groundbreaking work on myth, symbol, and ritual by one of the most acclaimed historians of our time. In The Sacred and the Profane, Mircea Eliade observes that while contemporary people believe their world is entirely profane or secular, they still at times find themselves connected unconsciously to the memory of something sacred. It's this premise that both drives Eliade's exhaustive exploration of the sacred—as it has manifested in space, time, nature and the cosmos, and life itself—and buttresses his expansive view of the human experience. Review: Good quality print - Received in good condition Review: Communicates to the soul and mind both - It would be apt to say the book has given words to so many experiences of mine, which I really was not able to express.

A book recommended ...
... by Jordan B Peterson. And what an insight! "This means that the existential crisis is, finally, 'religious', since on the archaic levels of culture 'being' and 'the sacred' are one."

What Enlightenment. This 1950's book is seminal.
$10 per copy in Australia delive red seems initially comlex & I declare no financial interest. I'm pretty cool with hard science. That's why God 'invented' Google lol I am 59 & a well read some say. Mercea is a guy I would have at "my perfect temple/dinner" with Christ, Galileo, Buddha, Socrates & ....... Spend an outrageously cheap $10 &dare to think. G.
