"The Mind of Primitive Man" is a book written by Franz Boas, a prominent anthropologist. Originally published in 1911, the book is considered a foundational work in the field of anthropology. Franz Boas is often regarded as one of the founding figures of modern anthropology in North America. In "The Mind of Primitive Man," Boas challenges the prevailing ideas of the time regarding the superiority or inferiority of different cultures. He argues against racial determinism and advocates for cultural relativism, asserting that cultural practices and beliefs should be understood within their specific historical and social contexts. The book addresses topics such as language, myth, art, and social organization among various Indigenous cultures, providing insights into the diversity of human thought and expression. Boas's approach laid the groundwork for a more nuanced and respectful understanding of different cultures, emphasizing the importance of studying societies in their own terms rather than imposing external judgments.

Anthropology is a science whose most significant discoveries have come when it has taken its bearings from literature, and what makes Paul Radin’s Primitive Man as Philosopher a seminal piece of anthropological inquiry is that it is also a book of enduring wonder. Writing in the 1920s, when anthropology was still young, Radin set out to show that “primitive” cultures are as intellectually sophisticated and venturesome as any of their “civilized” counterparts. The basic questions about the structure of the natural world, the nature of right and wrong, and the meaning of life and death, as well as basic methods of considering the truth or falsehood of the answers those questions give rise to, are, Radin argues, recognizably consistent across the whole range of human societies. He rejects both the romantic myth of the noble savage and the rationalist dismissal of the primitive mind as essentially undeveloped, averring that the anthropologist and the anthropologist’s subject meet on the same philosophical ground, and only when that is acknowledged can anthropology begin in earnest. The argument is clearly and forcibly made in pages that also contain an extraordinary collection of poems, proverbs, myths, and tales from a host of different cultures, making Primitive Man as Philosopher not only a lasting contribution to the discipline of anthropology but a unique, rich, and fascinating anthology, one that both illuminates and enlarges our imagination of the human.
"Radin draws upon a wealth of illustrative material from the subjects themselves, particularly North American Indian tribes, to make an intelligible portrait of the structure and nature of primitive society. The government, law, and status of man within that society, and the place of man in its myths, literature, and philosophy, are Radin's central concerns. This work is a major contribution to the rediscovery of the "wisdom of the primitives" and the oneness of the human person in all cultures and ages."--Back cover

Anthropology is a kind of debate between human possibilities—a dialectical movement between the anthropologist as a modern man and the primitive peoples he studies. In Search of the Primitive is a tough-minded book containing chapters ranging from encounters in the field to essays on the nature of law, schizophrenia and civilization, and the evolution of the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss. Above all it is reflective and self-critical, critical of the discipline of anthropology and of the civilization that produced that discipline. Diamond views the anthropologist who refuses to become a searching critic of his own civilizations as not merely irresponsible, but a tool of Western civilization. He rejects the associations which have been made in the ideology of our civilization, consciously or unconsciously, between Western dominance and progress, imperialism and evolution, evolution and progress.
Originally published in 1994, Folk Law, a comprehensive two-volme collection of essays, examines the meeting place of folklore - the unwritten law of obligations and prohibitions that are understood and passed on - and jurisprudence. The contributors explore the historical significance and implications of folk law, its continuing influence around the globe, and the conflicts that arise when folk law diverges from official law. Valuable for students and scholars of law, folklore, or anthropology, Renteln and Dundes's extensive casebook marks a rare interdisciplinary approach to two important areas of research.
