Malinowski is one of the most important and influential anthropologists of all time. He is particularly renowned for his ability to combine the reality of human experience, with the cold calculations of science. An important collection of three of his most famous essays, "Magic, Science and Religion" provides its reader with a series of concepts concerning religion, magic, science, rite and myth. This is undertaken in an attempt to form a definite impression and understanding of the Trobrianders of New Guinea. The chapters of this book include: "Magic, Science and Religion", "Primitive Man and his Religion", "Rational Mastery by Man of his Surroundings", "Faith and Cult", "The Creative Acts of Religion", "Providence in Primitive Life", "Man's Selective Interest in Nature", etcetera. This book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author."/><meta property="og:title" content="Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE72hJfQWyZJ24hZJ33zEox5M017LgVJa-i9eUN9oMdg5k-3DmSTM5iQvJsQjo7TlWuGIi2ZZNqpk8uL4U-FqdI3wG9S7UZfAmn9_cYV1a_bGzH8Arts1zasVv1TmkLOQ_BiyxUrH"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE72hJfQWyZJ24hZJ33zEox5M017LgVJa-i9eUN9oMdg5k-3DmSTM5iQvJsQjo7TlWuGIi2ZZNqpk8uL4U-FqdI3wG9S7UZfAmn9_cYV1a_bGzH8Arts1zasVv1TmkLOQ_BiyxUrH"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DwlF-CgAAQBAJ%26q%3DFrazer%2Bmagic%2Bscience%26pg%3DPT12%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ&q=Frazer+magic+science&pg=PT12&redir_esc=y&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

vintage book comprises three famous Malinowski essays on the subject of religion. Malinowski is one of the most important and influential anthropologists of all time. He is particularly renowned for his ability to combine the reality of human experience, with the cold calculations of science. An important collection of three of his most famous essays, \"Magic, Science and Religion\" provides its reader with a series of concepts concerning religion, magic, science, rite and myth. This is undertaken in an attempt to form a definite impression and understanding of the Trobrianders of New Guinea. The chapters of this book include: \"Magic, Science and Religion\", \"Primitive Man and his Religion\", \"Rational Mastery by Man of his Surroundings\", \"Faith and Cult\", \"The Creative Acts of Religion\", \"Providence in Primitive Life\", \"Man's Selective Interest in Nature\", etcetera. This book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PT249","order":249}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DwlF-CgAAQBAJ%26q%3DFrazer%2Bmagic%2Bscience%26pg%3DPT12%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PT12","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PT12\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U2aC-avBZbRJ4OYqtW3WwN9XFpzZg","flags":0,"order":12,"uf":"https://books.google.com.sg/books_feedback?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026spid=AFLRE71YX385uFRDQ12fXUtFBiC8VnAmG2vcqbFAfgg-QbJMwc25wIlM3B4jvvJjRvIuCyte7vcY\u0026ftype=0","vq":"Frazer magic science"},{"pid":"PT11","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PT11\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U1YWip4h3tSQHhegeQtR0_02LUXow"},{"pid":"PT13","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PT13\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U1-uI9Z0PYoY6qhYYk66rQ_Me-J_Q"},{"pid":"PT14","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PT14\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U3x0uuGt8fdvTGhxZovCZ221YvVPQ"},{"pid":"PT15","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=wlF-CgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PT15\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U1hkLpybWWofmxifkx-_wG0kClnzQ"}]},null,{"number_of_results":24,"search_results":[{"page_id":"PT3","snippet_text":"... \u003cb\u003eFrazer\u0026#39;s\u003c/b\u003e The Golden Bough , which stimulated his interest in primitive people and a desire to pursue anthropology .
