Description:

"Exercices d histoire des religions" is a collection of the most important articles published by Philippe Borgeaud during his career as the professor of history of religions at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). These nineteen studies showcase the many reflections of the Swiss scholar of religion on the categories and tools used to describe and compare such evanescent concepts as religions, myths and rituals, and his methodology for a critical and comparative study of ancient and modern religions. Through them, readers will gain a clear understanding of the importance such an approach can wield in the contemporary discussions and dissents about religions. "Exercices d histoire des religions" rassemble les articles les plus importants publies par Philippe Borgeaud durant sa carriere en tant que professeur d histoire des religions a l Universite de Geneve. Ces dix-neuf enquetes illustrent les reflexions du savant suisse sur les outils et categories utilises par l historien des religions pour decrire et comparer des concepts aussi evanescents que les - religions -, les - mythes - ou les - rituels -, et sur le role joue par les emotions dans leur elaboration. A travers eux, le lecteur est amene a decouvrir la methode developpee par Philippe Borgeaud pour etudier de maniere critique et comparative les religions antiques et modernes, une approche sans doute fondamentale pour mieux saisir les discussions et controverses contemporaines sur ce sujet."
