| Abstract | The paired up terms of sacred and profane constitute a twin concept we are likely to encounter in not a few studies in the sociology of religion. Implying an opposition between a certain qualification of religiosity and its absence, this double concept will reflect the user's conception of religion revealing „a certain degree" of opposition or another way of relationship between the two implied aspects. In other words, its particular use will reflect how religion is seen to extend into the field of everyday reality, how both religion and everyday reality relate to each other. This evidently is an important theological and sociological question. In the following, then, I will review how this pair concept is treated in some literature on religion and discuss or comment mainly on its sociological bearings. Especially we will see how it is utilized by Durkheim, Malinowski and Eliade to all of whom it is of central concern. Let us start with Durkheim. |
