| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to clarify the concept of the sacred and its relationship to culture in the secular modern West through analyzing discourses of G. Simmel, E. Cassirer, P. Tillich, and W. Benjamin who were confronted with the crisis of the late modernity. Despite of the differences of their world views or philosophical methodologies, they all grasped the sacred in the double perspective. The sacred is arranged for one cultural religious field that is differentiated from myth, philosophy, and politics etc. on the one hand, and for the ground of all cultural fields which is called true religion, the religious, or myth on the other hand. Their conception of the sacred will be a key to understand the dynamic process of secularization and desecularization in the late modernity.
