Publisher's Synopsis
Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays 1948 is a collection of essays written by the renowned anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. The book explores the relationships between magic, science, and religion in various cultures and societies. Malinowski argues that these three domains are not mutually exclusive, but rather intersect and overlap in complex ways. The essays also delve into the role of myths, rituals, and symbols in shaping cultural beliefs and practices. Malinowski draws on his extensive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands and other parts of the world to provide vivid examples of these concepts in action. Overall, Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays 1948 is a seminal work in the field of anthropology and a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, belief, and human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
