Synopsis

Magic Science And Religion is a book written by Bronislaw Malinowski, a renowned anthropologist, in which he explores the interplay between magic, science, and religion in human societies. The book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into one of these three topics. In the first part, Malinowski discusses the role of magic in primitive societies and argues that it is a rational response to the uncertainties of life. In the second part, he examines the emergence of science in modern societies and how it has replaced magic as a means of understanding the world. Finally, in the third part, Malinowski looks at the relationship between religion and magic, arguing that they are not mutually exclusive and that both are necessary for human societies to function. Throughout the book, Malinowski draws on his extensive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands to illustrate his arguments and provide concrete examples of how magic, science, and religion operate in different cultures. Overall, Magic Science And Religion is a seminal work in the field of anthropology that continues to be widely read and discussed today.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Science Religion and Reality, by Bronislaw Malinowski.
