This volume contains Books VI VIII ofDe laReligion. These books
cover the constitutive elements of sacerdotal polytheism (VI), the
constitutive elements of non-sacerdotal polytheism (VII), and the
Homeric poems (VIII). They occupy a key position in the economy of
the work as a whole by contrasting the two forms of polytheism. In
addition, this volume includes an interesting discussion of the
so-called Homer Question. "
While philosophy even up until Newton described scientific effort,
in the Early Modern Age philology was understood in very different
ways: as universal knowledge of all that is conveyed by language,
but also as technical analysis of written documents or as
collection of knowledge in the form of an encyclopedia. This book
attempts to illuminate the different aspects in more detail. In
order to understand the significance and consequences of the
philologization of our cultural history, one should first focus on
the intellectual gesture of which philology bears witness, such as
the development of critical activity ."
