L'on voit une certaine utilite a les rassembler, parce qu'ils se trouvent, sans qu'on y ait vise, former un groupe assez homogene et une facon d'esquisse, tres generale, d'une methode qui paraitra sans doute a plusieurs manquer terriblement de nouveaute, mais qui n'en est peut-etre pas plus mauvaise a suivre dans les etudes d'histoire religieuse.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prolegomena of the History of Religions I do not doubt that all real students of the History of Religion have by this time read M. Beville's book in the original. But the interest in the Science of Religion is spreading rapidly and widely, and there are large classes of English readers who seldom see a book which is published abroad, and who are more easily reached by an English translation. I hope, therefore, that M. Beville's book in its English trans lation will be read even more widely in England than it has been and I trust that it may help to remedy the injury which has of late been done to the Science of Religion in this country, both by its indiscriminate enemies and by its indiscriminate admirers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from L'Histoire des Religions: Son Esprit, Sa Methode Et Ses Divisions, Son Enseignement en France Et a l'Etranger Il est parfaitement exact qu Il y a, dans le vaste do mains de l'histoire religieuse, deux champs qui ont ete abordes le plus souvent jusqu'ici d'une maniere tres differente et avec des intentions egalement diverses. Mais cette circonstance est-elle de nature a prevaloir contre la necessite, de plus en plus generalement res sentie, de ne pas etablir une barriere artificielle entre deux ordres de faits destines a s'eclairer mutuellement? On pourrait, tout d'abord, insister sur ce que des designa tions telles que religions sacrees et religions profanes n'ont qu'une valeur relative, locale ou geographique, si l'on prefere, puisque, aux Indes, a Constantinople, en Chine, la litterature sacree comprend des livres que nous mettons au rang des profanes et que ceux auxquels nous decernons ce brevet d'estime particuliere sont ra menes aux simples conditions humaines par les adhe rents de religions, dont les sectateurs se comptent par centaines de millions.

Plusieurs des matieres dont il est traite dans ces Essais sont assurement obscures et difficiles; mais je ne crois pas qu'il y ait, dans toute la sphere des connaissances humaines, un seul sujet qu'on ne puisse exposer d'une maniere claire et intelli gihle, si l'on a commence par s'en rendre soi meme parfaitement maitre.

Download or read book Rediscovering E R Dodds written by Christopher Stray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscovering E. R. Dodds offers the first comprehensive assessment of a remarkable classical scholar, who was also a poet with extensive links to twentieth-century English and Irish literary culture, the friend of Auden and MacNeice. Dodds was born in Northern Ireland, but made his name as Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford from 1936 to 1960, succeeding Gilbert Murray. Before this he taught at Reading and Birmingham, was active in the Association of University Teachers, or AUT (of which he became president), and brought an outsider's perspective to the comfortable and introspective world of Oxford. His famous book The Greeks and the Irrational (1951) remains one of the most distinguished and visionary works of scholarship of its time, though much less well-known is his long and influential involvement with psychic research and his work for the reconstruction of German education after the Second World War. The contributions to this volume seek to shed light on these less explored areas of Dodds' life and his significance as perhaps the last classicist to play a significant role in British literary culture, as well as examining his work across different areas of scholarship, notably Greek tragedy. A group of memoirs - one by his pupil and former literary executor, Donald Russell, and three by younger friends who knew, visited, and looked after Dodds in his last years - complement this portrait of the influential scholar and poet, offering a glimpse of the man behind the legacy.

Their inveteracy explains, too, the inertia with which the progress of higher ideas has to contend, the Violence of reaction against reforms, the swiftness of de cadence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ou en Est l'Histoire des Religions?, Vol. 1: Les Religions Non Chretiennes De-rares mentions, chez quelques ecrivains mission naires ou dans les oeuvres des theologiens, concernant les pratiques ou les croyances des paiens, des barbares, et surtout, a partir du viie siecle, des musulmans c'est tout ce que l'histoire des religions peut glaner dans la litt e rature chretienne du moyen age. C'etait assez pour montrer que Mahomet ne peut etre un envoye de Dieu c'est trop peu pour ecrire l'histoire de l'islam et surtout pour cons tituer l'histoire generale des religions. De celle - ci en ne peut vraiment trouver ne fut-ce qu'une grossiere ebauche ni dans Roger Bacon, ni non plus, dans Nicolas de Cuse, qui pourtant semblent n'avoir point partage l'indifference scientifique de leur temps a l'egard des fausses religions.

Download or read book Hermetica written by Brian P. Copenhaver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-10-12 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermetica are a body of theological-philosophical texts written in late antiquity, but long believed to be much older. Their supposed author, Hermes Trismegistus, was thought to be a contemporary of Moses, and the Hermetic philosophy was regarded as an ancient theology, parallel to the received wisdom of the Bible. This first English translation based on reliable texts, together with Brian P. Copenhaver's comprehensive introduction, provide an indispensable resource to scholars in ancient philosophy and religion, early Christianity, Renaissance literature, and history, the history of science, and the occultist tradition in which the Hermetica have become canonical texts.
Download or read book Alfred Loisy and the Making of History of Religions written by Annelies Lannoy and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph studies the professionalization of History of religions as an academic discipline in late 19th and early 20th century France and Europe. Its common thread is the work of the French Modernist priest and later Professor of History of religions at the Collège de France, Alfred Loisy (1857-1940), who participated in many of the most topical debates among French and international historians of religions. Unlike his well-studied Modernist theology, Loisy’s writings on comparative religion, and his rich interactions with famous scholars like F. Cumont, M. Mauss, or J.G. Frazer, remain largely unknown. This monograph is the first to paint a comprehensive picture of his career as a historian of religions before and after his excommunication in 1908. Through a contextual analysis of publications by Loisy and contemporaries, and a large corpus of private correspondence, it illuminates the scientification of the discipline between 1890-1920, and its deep entanglement with religion, politics, and society. Particular attention is also given to the role of national and transnational scholarly networks, and the way they controlled the theoretical and institutional frameworks for studying the history of religions.

Chantepie de la Saussaye et de ses collaborateurs, elle est des plus stables. Ils ne sont, semble-t - il, d'aucune ecole. C'est pour leur oeuvre une chance de survivre aux doctrines caduques. Placee a la rencontre des grandes methodes de l'histoire des religions, elle fait a chacune sa part avec le plus louable eclectisme. Si cet eclectisme n'est pas a recommander a ceux qui pretendent enrichir la science, il est indispensable a ceux qui veulent en faire la somme. Faute d'un systeme veritablement comprehensif, en dehors duquel il ne puisse pas y avoir de verite, c'est l'eclectisme qui en comporte le plus. Il est d'ailleurs, dans le cas present, pariai tement legitime. Car les theories, qui ont ete en leur temps toute la verite, contiennent toujours quelques parcelles de la verite totale et leurs auteurs n'ont peche que par generalisation hative; a nous de determiner a quel ordre de faits se sont bornees leurs observations et doivent se limiter leurs conclusions.
