Previous owner name shabbily erased on FFEP (why don't people just leave books alone). Introduction and three sections. 12 chapters total. The object of this book is a study of the ways in which those who were once called primitives conceive of their own individuality. The author inquires into the notions they possess of their life-principle, their soul, and their personality, often encountering that many peoples only had pre-notions of such concepts. Lucien Lvy-Bruhl (10 April 1857 13 March 1939) was a French scholar trained in philosophy who furthered anthropology with his contributions to the budding fields of sociology and ethnology. His primary field of study involved primitive mentality. Lvy-Bruhl's work, especially the concepts of collective representation and participation mystique, influenced the psychological theory of C. G. Jung. Very respectable vintage First American edition. Scarce. LOC SSS-07
