Description: | This book seeks to explore this relationship between space as statement and construction, and the sacred as defined and defining. It argues that to talk about the sacred is to think and talk about space, and to some extent vice versa: that when people speak and write about the sacred, they tend to essentialise it in terms of places occupied by it; and that discussion of human spaces is likely, eventually, to refer to a central point imbued with extra-human, or spiritual, significance |
