The primitive mind does not differentiate the supernatural from reality, but rather uses "mystical participation" to manipulate the world.

Excerpt from Primitive Mentality In order to get hold, as it were, of the main point - the processes essential to primitive mentality - I have purposely chosen for my analyses the simplest and least ambiguous Of facts. In this way I hoped to lessen the chances Of error which in so complex a subject are very numerous, and to demonstrate more clearly the actual functioning Of the constituent principles of this mentality. I have consequently adhered to the study of what, to primitives, are the unseen powers by which they feel themselves surrounded on all sides - their dreams, the omens they Observe or incite, ' ordeals, bad death, the extraordinary things brought by white people, their remedies, etc. The reader, therefore, must not expect to find here a study Of primitive mentality as it relates to the technique of uncivilized communities (the inventing and perfecting of tools and weapons, the care of animals, construction of buildings, cultivation Of the soil, and so on), or to their oft-times complex institutions, such as the organization of family life, or totemism.

Levy-Bruhl speculates about what he posited as the two basic mind-sets of mankind; "primitive" and "Western." The primitive mind does not differentiate the supernatural from reality, but rather uses "mystical participation" to manipulate the world. Moreover, the primitive mind doesn't address contradictions. The Western mind, by contrast, uses speculation and logic. ‘How Natives Think’ IS an accurate and valuable contribution to anthropology.

Book Synopsis The Mind of Primitive Man by : Franz Boas
Download or read book The Mind of Primitive Man written by Franz Boas and published by . This book was released on 1921 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
Throughout the twentieth century, Western thinkers engaged in a politically charged, often highly personal and acrimonious debate over the mental and rational capacity of people from traditional nonliterate societies. The issue was a question of whether or not humanity was, at bottom, psychologically and rationally unified and equal as a species. Redefining Reason offers the first in-depth, critical history of that debate and its repercussions in modern Western thought and society. Divided into three sections, this book first sets the twentieth-century “primitive” mentality debate within its historical context so that it may be better understood. It then focuses on some of the highlights of the debate. The next section suggests that this debate was, in reality, a chapter itself in (or in an aspect of) a much larger story: the story of what may be appropriately referred to as the hyperrationalization of human society. To conclude, this book follows the debate into the twenty-first century and offers the clarification and resolutions developed in earlier chapters to contemporary students, scholars, and educated lay readers.
