"Primitive Man as Philosopher" is influential anthropologist and
ethnologist Paul Radin's enduringly relevant survey of an array of
aboriginal cultures and belief systems, including those of the
Winnebago, Oglala Sioux, Maori, Banda, the Buin of Melanesia,
Tahitian, Hawaiian, Zuni, and Ewe. Radin examines the conditioning
of thought and religion practiced among the members of each society
and the freedom of individuals to deviate from the group and to
affect change. Written in a straightforward, almost conversational
style, Radin's discourse is rooted in firsthand accounts. He allows
his subjects to speak for themselves by quoting extensively from
interviews (many of which he conducted in the course of his own
fieldwork), and includes a veritable anthology of poems and songs
from the varied traditions. Radin, known in his field for his
honesty and integrity, offers brilliant interpretations of myth and
symbolism in his exploration of their deeper meanings in each
culture. Readers both in and out of the field will appreciate the
rich and varied insights of this classic of anthropology.
Celebrated anthropologist Neni Panourgiá provides a new
introduction to this landmark and pioneering work.
