About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A: Oxford University Press, 1996. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book introduces a series of classic attempts to explain religion scientifically; it first considers the views of E.B. Tylor and James Frazer, two Victorian pioneers in anthropology and the comparative study of religion; it then explores the controversial reductionist approaches of Freud, Marx, and Durkheim, and explains the program of their opponent Mircea Eliade; finally, it examines new methods advanced by modern anthropologists E.E. Evans-Pritchard and Clifford Geertz; each chapter provides biographical background, exposition of the theory, comparative analysis, and critical assessment (black cover with white lettering, slightly rubbed, previous owner's stamp on inside of front cover, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
