Exploring the role of magic in 'primitive' societies and its contemporary relevance, this work by Marcel Mauss and Henri Humbert delves into cultural practices and their sociological and religious implications. Originally published in 1902 and later republished in 1950, it reflects the modernity of Mauss's thought, as noted by Claude Lévi-Strauss. The book offers rich insights into the intersections of art, magic, and science, making it a timeless classic that resonates with current societal dynamics.
