The Mythology in Our Language: Remarks on Frazer’s Golden Bough by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Giovanni da Col, Stephan Palmié
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.40 MB
Overview: In 1931 Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote his famous Remarks on Frazer’s “Golden Bough,” published posthumously in 1967. At that time, anthropology and philosophy were in close contact—continental thinkers drew heavily on anthropology’s theoretical terms, like mana, taboo, and potlatch, in order to help them explore the limits of human belief and imagination. Now the book receives its first translation by an anthropologist, in the hope that it can kick-start a new era of interdisciplinary fertilization.
