Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-197) and index. In the history of Western culture, theology, and science, a strict dichotomy exists between religion and magic: religion as the intellectually and morally superior one - magic as the primitive, superstitious, demonic other. The present work aims to break with this tradition, and traces the origin of this dichotomy as well as its many purposes. Whose powers does it serve? Which interests and ideological stakes does it conceal? Moreover, the author proposes a new epistemological framework for the study of magisms as well as their "rehumanisation", and argues for a rehabilitation of their studies Magic Religious aspects. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86001857 Magic. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85079604 Religion. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85112549 Religion https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012067 Religion. religion (discipline) aat RELIGION Reference. bisacsh Magic fast Magic Religious aspects fast Religion fast has work: Religion and magic in western culture (Text) https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFMqRvB7XGcXgxWw9c8V4q https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork Print version: Dubuisson, Daniel, 1950- Religion and magic in western culture 9789004298958 (DLC) 2016008997 (OCoLC)938393825 Supplements to Method & theory in the study of religion. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014159567 FWS01 ZDB-4-EBA FWS_PDA_EBA https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1227025 Volltext |
