Résumé
"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.
