Description

First Published in 1999. This is Volume I of six of a series on Anthropology and Psychology. Written in 1931, this book looks at the psychology of the 'primitive' or a man who represents the common stuff of human nature, in an attempt to close the divide between anthropology and psychology. Two hypotheses, the existence and activity of a racial unconscious as the fundamental basis of cultural phenomena, and the overwhelming importance of a gregarious instinct in the development of society are presented in this book.

Description

Published between 1923 and 1936, the titles in this set reflect a time before firm lines were drawn between the emerging disciplines of anthropology and psychology and show just how far both areas have moved since then. Titles such as The Primitive Mind and Modern Civilization, which has a foreword by C.G. Jung, show contemporary thinking on the so-called 'primitive psyche' and others explore themes such as possession, magic, religion and politics. The set includes three titles by the renowned scholar W.H.R. Rivers.
