'A History of Religious Ideas, volume 1 will arouse the interest of all historians of western religion, since it includes chapters on the religions of Canaan and Israel. However, the book must be read cover to cover if one wants to grasp the significance of its gigantic historical scope...Not only has the work unity through Eliade's authorship, but it lays the foundation of the history of religious' edifice of which he has been one of the principal architects.' --Kees W. Bolle, Church History.

对于宗教史家来说,每一种神圣事物的表现形式都是重要的:每一次仪式、每一个神话、每一种信仰或神灵的形象,都是对于神圣的体验(experience of the sacred)的各种反映,因而蕴含着关于存在、意义和真理的观念。正如我曾在其他场合指出的,“如果不相信这个世界上有着某种不可化约的真实,就很难想象人类的大脑是如何进行思考的;如果一时没有赋予人类的冲动和经验以意义,就无法想象它又是如何能够出现的。对于一个真实且富有意义的世界的认识,是与对神圣的发现密不可分的。通过体验神圣,人类的头脑觉察到那些自身显现为真实、有力、丰富以及富有意义的事物与缺乏这些品质的东西——也就是说,混乱无序地流动、偶然且无意义地出现和消失的事物——之间的不同。”简而言之,“神圣”是意识结构中的一种元素,而不是意识史中的一个阶段。在文化最古老的层面上,人类生命本身就是一种宗教行为,因为采集食物、性生活以及工作都有着神圣的价值在其中。换言之,作为或成为人,就意味着“他是宗教性的”。 (查看原文)

终于把第一卷看完了,精彩,伊利亚德果然一代大师。相比之下北大出版的那本《什么是宗教学》真的太索然无味了。后来看到段晴教授写的氍毹上的图案关于娜娜女神的解读,啊,真的太妙了!就感觉段晴的解读把伊利亚德的思想串联起来的感觉

今天读完了第一卷。 非常好的一本书,信息量极其庞大,但是文笔非常清楚。 看了这本书后对作者的印象完全改变,以后要把他的所有的书都读一遍(就像我要把荣格的所有书都读一遍一样)。 这本书虽然是综述,但是很多视角是作者独特的解释(我觉得合理)。 这本书唯一美中不足是作者是intellect, 没有宗教体验,这一点和荣格、 Joseph Campbell 不一样
