Description
A General Theory of Magic by Marcel Mauss This influential study explores magic in 'primitive' societies and its continued presence in modern thought and social actions. First written in 1902, it was republished by Mauss in 1950, gaining new readership and earning recognition for its modernity. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the role of magic across various cultures, as well as profound sociological and religious insights that remain relevant today. As we see the boundaries between art, magic, and science blurring, A General Theory of Magic presents itself as a thought-provoking work for our time. With its enduring relevance, this book provides a unique perspective on the human experience, inviting readers to consider the power of magic in shaping our thoughts and actions.
