Industry Reviews
"The fundamental theme of this book is that we are at fault if we follow Levy-Bruhl (and by derivation Sartre) in thinking that there is an historical contrast between the 'pre-logical' mentality of Primitives and the 'logical' mentality of Modern Man. Primitive people are no more mystical in their approach to reality than we are...[The author's] investigation is complicated, ingenious, and, in my view anyway, persuasive..."
New York Review of Books - Edmund Leach (10/12/1967)
