About This Book

"Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays" is a collection of thought-provoking essays by Bronis?aw Malinowski, a pioneering figure in anthropology. Originally published in 1948, the compilation addresses the interplay between magic, science, and religion in human societies. Malinowski explores the role of magic as a practical tool, science as a systematic understanding of the world, and religion as a framework for addressing existential questions. Drawing from his extensive fieldwork, including studies among the Trobriand Islanders, Malinowski provides valuable insights into the cultural dynamics that shape these domains. The essays offer a comprehensive perspective on the complex relationships between belief systems and the social structures of different communities. This anthology remains a seminal work in anthropology, showcasing Malinowski's enduring influence on the understanding of human culture and belief systems.
