The Idea of the Holy - Softcover

The Idea of the Holy

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Idea of the Holy' stands as one of the most influential works in the philosophy of religion and theology produced in the twentieth century. In this profound inquiry, Rudolf Otto explores the non-rational factor in the idea of the divine and its relation to the rational. Central to the work is the concept of the 'numinous'-a unique category of value and a state of mind that exists independently of ethical or intellectual components. Otto famously characterizes the experience of the numinous as a mysterium tremendum et fascinans: a mystery that is both terrifying in its power and irresistible in its beauty.
