|
| Course contents : | Each stage of Prehistory is reconstructed in its complexity in which the religious phenomenon is placed in its role of justifying activity. Each "moment" in human history is thus a balance between diverse components, organised by the religious institution. It is these aspects which, placed in diachronic perspective, give a dynamic value to transformations in human culture. |
|
| Course objective : | To develop the significance of the religious phenomenon, in all human societies and through time. To demonstrate the evolutionary importance of this component of original humanity. To trace the different steps that mark the development of the religious spirit in relation to other social components. Finally, to define the traces of prehistoric religions in classic civilisations, known historically. |
