Hardback or Cased Book. Condition: New. What is Religion. Book.

Hardback. Condition: New. How should we explain differences in religious belief and practice? Philippe Borgeaud's ambitious intellectual history tells the story of how reflection on religious phenomena emerged, throughout the centuries, in European consciousness and scholarship. Christianity in particular, as Borgeaud shows, long wrestled with how to understand polytheistic cultures versus its own belief in a single omnipotent God. The Church Fathers, the author argues, sought to inherit the core of Graeco-Roman culture while rejecting its deities and religious practices; and patristic ideas were later adopted when Europeans travelling and colonising the world encountered ever more varied polytheistic traditions. At times detached, at times enchanted, these travellers' reflections provided the basis for the modern study of 'religions', and have since conditioned the mindset of anyone brought up in a European culture. The book concludes by arguing for the importance of liberation from these assumptions and instead considering religion as a form of 'play'.…

Condition: COME NUOVO. La Librairie du XXi Siecle cm.14x22,5, pp.306, brossura. La Librairie du XXi Siecle. Collection dirigée par Maurice Olender. La question de l'identité religieuse dans son rapport à la laïcité est plus actuelle que jamais. Ainsi, que signifient ce désir d'introduire le mot «religion» dans le préambule de la future Constitution européenne ou, au contraire, cette réticence à y faire une quelconque allusion ? La multiplication des sectes, la forte politisation actuelle des religions, le «retour» du religieux, proclamé dans le monde des organisations internationales et des seigneurs de la guerre, invitent à repenser certains concepts. D'où l'importance de saisir l'origine de notre notion de «religion», ce qu'elle recouvre. A l'heure où l'on veut promouvoir l'histoire des religions dans l'enseignement, Philippe Borgeaud propose un livre fondamental. Entre Athènes, Rome et Jérusalem, rien ne vaut un détour par les territoires lointains, mais fondateurs, où apparaissent les premières formulations de nos évidences. Ce qui s'impose alors - doit-on s'en étonner ? -, c'est le caractère pluriel et polémique du mot «religion», un objet qui n'existe pas de toute éternité, que l'on ne cesse de construire et de reconstruire.…

Condition: COME NUOVO. Labor et Fides cm.14,5x23, pp.188, brossura con copertina figurata. Esemplare con dedica autografa di una delle autrici Francesca Prescendi. Cet ouvrage propose un accès original aux religions de l'Antiquité. Sans être une étude systématique et exhaustive de tous les aspects des religions rencontrées, il présente quelques thématiques et suggère des méthodes d'approche, en mettant en perspective une série de questions qui se posent dès que l'on se penche sur les rites et les croyances des civilisations anciennes : qu'est-ce qu'un sacrifice ? Quelle différence y a-t-il entre religion et magie ? Pourquoi les hommes communiquent-ils avec les dieux par des pratiques divinatoires ? Comment les mythes ont-ils pu transmettre un savoir ? La Grèce et Rome sont au centre du volume, avec des aperçus importants sur l'Egypte, ainsi que le Proche-Orient ancien (incluant la Bible). Dans ces grandes civilisations, les éléments culturels, religieux ou mythiques se diffusent, se rencontrent, réagissent les uns aux autres et se modifient mutuellement. Une culture n'est jamais un vase clos, fait d'éléments originaux ou purs . Elle est au contraire un système dynamique, parce qu'elle est construite à partir du dialogue continu entre éléments qui se combinent : un jeu de regards croisés, qui ne cesse d'élargir les frontières de l'imaginaire.…
