Lec 32: Emile Durkheim | Elementary forms of Religious life

In this lecture, we will study about:
1. Emile Durkheim's functional interpretation of Religion.
2. Emile Durkheim in his 1912 book "Elementary forms of Religious society" argues that religion is nothing but the worship of society.
3. Emile Durkheim argues that Totemism is the most basic form of Religion and he rejects Edward Tylor's theory of Animism and Max Mueller's argument that Naturism signifies the origin of religion.
4. Emile Durkheim's Religion theory is based on ethanographic research and study of Arunta Tribe of Australia by Baldwin Spencer and Gillen.
5. Emile Durkheim also talks about Civil Religion in Modern France woven by the spirit of Nationalism.
6. Durkheim argues that Totem is a collective representation.
7. Emile Durkheim differentiates between the sacred and profane while talking about Religion and Totemism.

[@vishalsharma_0705]

Sir as u have stated that profane is day to day life activities, basically it is everyday life where we struggle for survival and look for different occupations/means for the livelihood..sir mera question ye hai ki jo temple priest hote hai jo 24*7 alloted hote hai temple ki dekh bhal ke liye and they even earn money for their work basically vo ek job hai unki he is earning livelihood and even get holidays ,this is their everyday life vhi pe khana, peena rehna sb kuch .to sir kya ye sb priest ke profane life me nhi aayega???????

[@Spiritualism_tales]

According to ur all passage, I can say priest had became sacred becz he had been used for worshiping superpower, and his all daily work, money is dedicated to God. But yeah corruption is everywhere. Plz correct me i sayed something wrong.
