Résumé
--
For the last fifty years, the sacred has been the subject of great debate. In order to provide some answers, this volume entitled 'L'Homme et le Sacré' offers a new synthesis of the available research. The first section gives an in-depth examination of two possible ways of approaching the sacred: firstly, via historical semantics, which focuses on the vocabulary of the sacred and secondly via the history of religions which examines the methods and theories elaborated over the last two centuries. The second section examines the resources and the values, as well as the role of the sacred in relation to experience: the discovery of a vision of the world the construction of religious awareness the approach to structures of the real the assessment of human life and its 'post mortem' permanence the apprehension of the divine and numinous experience the discovery and use of a symbolic universe which 'homo religiosus' can employ profitably in his life. The third section of the volume is devoted to the space accorded to the sacred and the way to the divine: the symbolism of the centre and sacred places, man and sacred places, the symbolism of the labyrinth, the circle, the mountain, the tree and the cross. Two models are particularly developed: the sanctuary and the pilgrimage.
