Mística y Ritual. El hecho religioso a través de las Escuelas Antropológicas

The religious fact is an existential reality of the human being, a symbolic field immanent to its metaphysical dimension and, as such, constitutes a subject of inescapable study for anthropology. Study that during modernity has been detached from the past theological connotations, to focus on the use of pure reason as a vehicle of inquiry of natural religiosity. The present article supposes an documentary analysis of the religious phenomenon in this line, an exegesis through the different anthropological schools whose objective has been to highlight the different approaches, focuses of interest, epistemological perspectives and methodological approaches that they have brought to their understanding.
