Excerpt from Primitive Mentality

In order to get hold, as it were, of the main point - the processes essential to primitive mentality - I have purposely chosen for my analyses the simplest and least ambiguous Of facts. In this way I hoped to lessen the chances Of error which in so complex a subject are very numerous, and to demonstrate more clearly the actual functioning Of the constituent principles of this mentality. I have consequently adhered to the study of what, to primitives, are the unseen powers by which they feel themselves surrounded on all sides - their dreams, the omens they Observe or incite,'' ordeals, bad death, the extraordinary things brought by white people, their remedies, etc. The reader, therefore, must not expect to find here a study Of primitive mentality as it relates to the technique of uncivilized communities (the inventing and perfecting of tools and weapons, the care of animals, construction of buildings, cultivation Of the soil, and so on), or to their oft-times complex institutions, such as the organization of family life, or totemism.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of primitive mentality, exploring the ways in which people living in uncivilized communities perceive and interact with the world around them. The author examines how their thinking differs from our own, focusing on their unique understanding of causality. The author challenges the common perception that primitive people lack the capacity for reasoning, instead arguing that their minds are simply structured differently. He highlights the reliance on mystical explanations for natural phenomena, demonstrating how concepts like witchcraft and the influence of spirits play a crucial role in their worldview. The book examines how these beliefs shape their responses to illness, death, and even everyday events, demonstrating the profound impact of mysticism on their daily lives. The author further explores the role of dreams, omens, and divination practices in primitive societies, revealing how they are used to interpret events and make decisions. By exploring the rich tapestry of beliefs and customs that govern their existence, the book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the nature of human thought and the diverse ways in which people understand the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
