He argues that magic is an essential part of these societies as it provides a sense of control over the environment and helps individuals cope with uncertainty.The second part of the book focuses on science and its relationship with religion. Malinowski argues that science and religion are not mutually exclusive but are complementary. He discusses how science can help explain the physical world, while religion provides meaning and purpose to human existence.The final part of the book examines the role of religion in society.
