Sacru şi sacrificiu. Teorii contemporane (partea II)

Abstract

The issue of this paper is to bring in attention the function of what means sacred and sacrifice, on the one hand and, on the other hand, which are the new theoris, the contemporary theories about sacred and sacrifice. What i want to mention is that the phenomenon of the sacrifice has been subjected to  theoretical research mostly in the past century. This paper outlines a” history” of the problem, if I can say so, discerning three different perspectives from which the sacrifice has been theoretically approached: the literary-poetical perspective, illustrated by ‘The College of Sociology’ in France, the theological-philosophical perspective and the scientific perspective (represented by  the psychology of religion, the history of religions,  the linguistics etc.)
