Synopsis
Excerpt from Primitive Culture, Vol. 1 of 2: Researches Into the Development of Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, Art, and Custom
The present volumes, uniform with the previous volume of "Researches into the Early History of Mankind" (1st Ed. 1865; 2nd Ed. 1870), carry on the investigation of culture into other branches of thought and belief, art and custom. During the past six years, I have taken occasion to bring tentatively before the public some of the principal points of new evidence and argument here advanced. The doctrine of survival in culture, the bearing of directly-expressive language and the invention of numerals on the problem of early civilization, the place of myth in the primitive history of the human mind, the development of the animistic philosophy of religion, and the origin of rites and ceremonies, have been discussed in various papers and lectures, before being treated at large and with a fuller array of facts in this work.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of human culture, exploring its development across diverse societies and throughout history. By meticulously examining a vast array of evidence, from ancient artifacts to modern customs, the author unveils the hidden connections and underlying laws that govern the evolution of human thought, belief, and behavior. Through a comparative analysis of different stages of civilization, the author sheds light on the gradual progression from rudimentary beginnings to complex societies. This journey of cultural transformation is marked by both innovation and the persistence of ancient traditions, often in unexpected forms. The author's concept of "survival" reveals how remnants of earlier cultures linger on, offering valuable clues to our shared past. This book challenges the notion of arbitrary invention and instead presents a compelling case for the systematic development of culture. From the origins of language to the intricacies of mythology, the author demonstrates how seemingly spontaneous phenomena can be traced back to rational and intelligible causes. By illuminating the interconnectedness of human history, this book invites us to re-examine our own beliefs and practices, recognizing them as products of a long and fascinating evolutionary process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440053818_0
