The study of symbols, myths and rites concludes the trilogy devoted to ‘homo religiosus' and his experience of the sacred. The synthesis of essentials elements drawn from these 1700 pages confirms Mircea Eliade's thoughts when he remarks that the history of religions is likely to open up a new humanism, even to depict a new religious anthropology. On the one hand, this essay permits us to reach a fundamental religious anthropology, and on the other, to open new prospects for the study of specific or sectorial anthropologies such as Indo-European anthropology, Abrahamic anthropology, Buddhist anthropology, Greek anthropology, Islamic anthropology. The structures of the book are presented in the Epilogue.
