| Key points | Argues that Husserl's phenomenology drove a twentieth-century turn in the philosophy of religion, as seen in Rudolf Otto's Das Heilige and Mircea Eliade's The Sacred and the Profane. Both thinkers, the author contends, start from concrete religious experience rather than abstract concepts of God and religion to ground religious belief in human nature, with Otto analyzing the mysterium tremendum et fascinans of the numinous and Eliade contrasting homo religiosus and homo profanus. |
Abstract
A fenomenologia de Husserl motivou uma viragem da filosofia da religião, no século XX, através das obras Das Heilige de Rudolf Otto e O sagrado e o profano de M. Eliade. Ambos partem da experiência religiosa concreta, não de conceitos abstratos de Deus e de religião, para fundamentar a crença religiosa na natureza humana. Otto fala do mysterium tremendum et fascinans na experiência do numinoso e Eliade do homo religiosus e do homo profanus.Abstract: Husserl’s phaenomenology caused a revolution in the philosophy of religion in the twentieth century with the studies Das Heilige of Rudolf Otto and The holy and the profane of M.
