초록

Mircea Eliade emphasized that human beings had recognized the irreversible condition of time and history and that they had developed and used religious myths and rituals to overcome it.
According to Eliade, religion and education have very similar aims and functions in that they not only provide paradigmatic models for people to imitate but also serve to change human personality.
Furthermore, he asserted, “the history of religions affirms itself as a ‘pedagogy,’ … for it is susceptible of changing man.” This is especially important in the desacralized modern world where the influence of religion is on the decline while the “horror” of history is increasing. Eliade expected the history of religions to help people gain a deep understanding of themselves. By showing and teaching how religious people recover and experience the sacred, or what is beyond history and temporality, the history of religions can allow secularized modern people to become aware of their religiosity that has been forgotten. In addition, Eliade thought that the discipline could help people improve their ability to coexist with one another in the multi-religious modern society. On the other hand, it is also important to note that Eliade did not pay much attention to negative influences of religion, such as cases in which religions oppress people, change their personalities negatively or even destroy them.
By focusing on significance and values that transcend history, Eliade often deemphasized concrete historical situations.
