Description:
This book is an important contribution to the history of religion, providing a deep exploration into the sociology of primitive religions. P. Radin presents a unique approach to understanding primitive religions by closely examining their social and economic ties. He portrays religion not only as a cultural practice but as a secondary force, often opposed to progress and sometimes even tyrannical or dangerous.
The book delves into the religious practices, beliefs, and taboos that form the foundation of primitive societies, highlighting their significance in shaping cultural identities. Radin’s work intersects with Frazer’s studies, but his focus is specifically on the religious elements, distinguishing them from superstition or legend. Through this lens, the book explores the temperament that builds and disrupts such religions, making it an essential work for anyone interested in the sociology of religion and the anthropology of primitive belief systems.
