The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and ReligionWordsworth Editions, 1993 - 756 sider Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941) is rightly regarded as one of the founders of modern anthropology. This volume is the author's own abridgement of his great work, and was first published in 1922. It offers the thesis that man progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. |
