Note 25 — Chapter I · DEFINITION OF RELIGIOUS PHENOMENA AND OF RELIGION[25]
Joseph Ward Swain translation
We have already attempted to define religious phenomena in a paper which was published in the Année Sociologique (Vol. II, pp. 1 ff.). The definition then given differs, as will be seen, from the one we give to-day. At the end of this chapter (p. 47, n. 1), we shall explain the reasons which have led us to these modifications, but which imply no essential change in the conception of the facts.
