Revival: Primitive Mentality (1923) Paperback / softback
by Lucien Levy-Bruhl
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Paperback / softback
Description
The primitive mind does not differentiate the supernatural from reality, but rather uses "mystical participation" to manipulate the world.
According to Bruhl, moreover, the primitive mind doesn't address contradictions.
The modern mind, by contrast, uses reflection and logic.
Bruhl believed in a historical and evolutionary teleology leading from the primitive mind to the modern mind.
