Resumo

Abstract

In his work Religious Essays, the German thinker Rudolf Otto argues that historical consideration can bring us an embarrassing impression of similarities and regularities in the development of religions. This leads him to propose a comparative study based on the notion of parallel lines of development. In Otto’s view, despite the individual characteristics of the varied manifestations of religion, it is possible to trace a schematic framework of their developments, from earlier religious manifestations up to the conquest of the idea of the holy. During this process, the mythological groundwork would give its place to a definitely moralized and spiritualized notion, pressing, according to the author, towards the idea of an Absolute.
