Magic Science And Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425358396)

Magic Science and Religion is a book written by Bronislaw Malinowski, a renowned anthropologist. The book explores the relationship between magic, science, and religion in traditional societies. Malinowski argues that these three systems of thought are interdependent and that they serve different functions within society. He suggests that magic is used to control the environment and to influence events, while science is used to understand the natural world and to solve practical problems. Religion, on the other hand, provides a framework for understanding the meaning of life and the role of humans in the universe. The book is based on Malinowski's fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands, where he conducted extensive research on the culture and beliefs of the islanders. The book is considered a classic in the field of anthropology and has had a significant influence on the study of religion and culture.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Science Religion and Reality, by Bronislaw Malinowski.
