Sommario/riassunto

Le thème du sacrifice humain ne peut laisser indifférent et continue de susciter bien des interrogations, entre fascination et dégoût. Historiens et anthropologues se divisent sur l’historicité supposée du phénomène.  Pour sortir de l’impasse, cet ouvrage se penche sur la manière dont les cultures se représentent le sacrifice humain, le leur ou celui des autres, fût-il réel ou symbolique.  Comment une société fait-elle face à ce qui est - ou ce qu’elle croit être - son passé cruel et sanglant ?  Quelles sont les valeurs dont le sacrifice humain, et d’autres concepts proches, comme l’anthropophagie, se trouvent chargés en vertu des normes indigènes ?  Comment ces perceptions ont-elles persisté dans la longue durée et comment se sont-elles adaptées aux idéologies changeantes ? Le coeur du volume est consacré au dossier hellénique, remarquablement documenté par les Grecs eux-mêmes. À ce dossier répondent en contrepoint plusieurs articles sur la Chine ancienne, les Aztèques, et la Rome antique, qui projettent un regard différent et sont autant de raisons de remettre cent fois sur le métier cet objet fascinant.  The topic of human sacrifice, which tends to provoke both fascination and disgust, leaves few people indifferent and remains a highly contested academic issue.  The present volume is not concerned with the historical reality of human sacrifice, a question that continues to divide historians and anthropologists. Rather, it is interested in how different ancient cultures represented human sacrifice differently, both theirs and that of others, either as an event or a symbol. How does a society confront what might have been -or what it thought was- its own cruel and bloody past? What are the culturally specific values through which human sacrifice was understood in each group, and how did they differ in the case of other related practices, such as anthropophagy?  How have these perceptions changed over time, and how have they adapted to the transformations of…

Sommario/riassunto

In this classic of religious studies and philosophy, the great Christian existentialist thinker Paul Tillich describes the dilemma of modern man and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety. This edition includes a new introduction by the esteemed theologian Peter J. Gomes that reflects on the impact of this book in the years since it was written. "Were I to choose the most significant book in religion published in the second half of the twentieth century, my choice would fall easily upon Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be."-Peter J. Gomes "The brilliance, the wealth of illustration, and the aptness of personal



application . . . make the reading of these chapters an exciting experience."-W. Norman Pittenger, New York Times Book Review" A lucid and arresting book."-Frances Witherspoon, New York Herald Tribune "Clear, uncluttered thinking and lucid writing mark Mr. Tillich's study as a distinguished and readable one."-American Scholar
