The sacred, philosophical and sociological Janus

Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 8

Abstract

Symbolically, Janus, as the god of initiations, is supposed to be the Sacred's keeper. The Sacred, like Janus, has two faces : the religious and the non-religious one. The latter has a reconnecting function. As an illustration of its reality is presented its specific existence inside Free-masonry. Are successively analysed the relations between the Sacred and divinity, humanity, secret, profane and modern communication.
