Description:In the classic text The Sacred and the Profane, famed historian of religion Mircea Eliade observes that even moderns who proclaim themselves residents of a completely profane world are still unconsciously nourished by the memory of the sacred.

In doing so he shows how the total human experience of the religious man compares with that of the nonreligious.
