Новая наука зачарованного мира | The New Science of the Enchanted Universe
Paperback
ISBN: 9780691215938
Marshall Sahlins, 2023
Overview
This seminal work challenges the Western perspective of a disenchanted cosmos, arguing that most cultures throughout history perceive spirits as real persons within an enchanted universe. It proposes a new methodology for social scientists to study these cultures of immanence on their own terms. The book explores how even seemingly mundane aspects of life, like economics and politics, involve negotiation with and even usurpation of divine powers.
Who it's for
- Anthropologists and social scientists seeking new theoretical frameworks.
- Readers interested in cultural studies and the anthropology of religion.
