hardcover. 8vo 456pp. from Introduction: "In this book we propose to study the most primitive and simple religion which is actually known, to make an analysis of it, and to attempt an explanation of it. A religious system may be said to be the most primitive which we can observe when it fulfils the following conditions: in the first place, when it is found in a society whose organization is surpassed by no others in simplicity; and secondly, when it is possible to explain it without making use of any element borrowed from a previous religion." #03266.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of human religious experience by exploring the most fundamental forms of belief and ritual. The author argues that studying the simplest religions known to us can unlock profound insights into the universal nature of religious thought and practice. By analyzing these early belief systems, the book sheds light on the origins of core concepts like time, space, and causality, revealing their surprising connection to social structures and collective thought. This exploration leads to a fascinating reinterpretation of the theory of knowledge, demonstrating how social forces have shaped the very way we understand the world around us. Through meticulous examination of rituals and beliefs, the book uncovers the essential elements of sacrifice, the meaning of sacredness, and the complex relationship between the individual and the collective. Ultimately, it reveals the enduring power of religion as a reflection of our deepest human needs and a testament to the creative force of society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
