Résumé
--
Religious anthropology needs a new lease of life. The vast progress made during the last century in the domain of the science of religions seems to point to a constructive way to open the new perspectives envisaged by M. Eliade, G. Dumézil, P. Ricoeur and G. Durand. 'Homo religiosus' and his experience of the sacred constitutes an introduction to a religious anthropology based on man and the experience of the sacred. Part One highlights the basic facts of such experience during the history of humanity. From prehistory to the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean basin, the author examines and analyses religious man and his experience of the sacred. Part Two examines homo religiosus in the modern world. The author investigates man's situation and his relation to the sacred within cultures and in society: the influences of institutions, crises and mutations in the sacred, the role of the religious founders and the permanence of the sacred throughout the millennia. In this way, the perspectives of a new fundamental religious anthropology are outlined.
