Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the interplay of science, magic, and religion, the author presents a nuanced view of dual reality, distinguishing between the observable natural world and the emotional realm of the supernatural. Unlike Frazer, he emphasizes that science stems from humanity's ability to organize knowledge, as seen in the practical skills of the Trobriand people. Magic is portrayed as a pragmatic response to life's challenges, while religion is framed as a collection of self-fulfilling rituals centered on significant life events.
