Publisher's Synopsis
Natural Theology is a philosophical and anthropological work written by James George Frazer. The book explores the concept of religion and its origins, particularly in relation to the natural world. Frazer argues that religion arises from the human need to explain the natural world and to find meaning in the universe. He examines various religious beliefs and practices, including animism, totemism, and magic, and discusses their significance in different cultures. Frazer also explores the role of mythology in religion, arguing that myths are a way of expressing beliefs about the natural world and the divine. Throughout the book, Frazer draws on a wide range of sources, including anthropology, archaeology, and history, to support his arguments. Natural Theology is a seminal work in the field of anthropology and has had a significant influence on the study of religion and mythology.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Man, God and Immortality: Thoughts on Human Progress, by James George Frazer.
