Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled „The identification of the sacred inside the religious experience” approaches the concept of sacred from the point of view of the between the two wars. The research is not focused only on the word’s etymology, but also on the subtle relationship between the different stages of the concept’s development/ readjustment. Thus, for example, the idea that we plead for is that the Hermeneutics of the sacred reveals the soul’s inclination towards the acknowledgment of the absolute through the hierophany of the symbol, subdued to the level of knowledge and will. The halving of the world, through an emotional reassesment, represents a significant step in the establishment of the sacred.
