The Father in Primitive Psychology

About this book

This vintage text contains Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal treatise, "The Father in Primitive Psychology". It is an analysis of the relationship of society and psychology in tribal communities, and explores ideas of sex and procreation, kinship, myth, social organisation, and more. This fascinating text will appeal to those with a keen interest in psychology, and it would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this book include: "Kinship and Descent in a Matrilineal Society", "The Male and Female Organism and the Sexual Impulse in Native Belief", "Reincarnation and the Way to Life from the Spirit World", "The Ignorance of Physiological Paternity", "Words and Deeds in Testimony", etcetera. Bronislaw Kasper Malinowski (1884 - 1942) was a Polish anthropologist, commonly hailed as one of the most influential of the twentieth-century. This volume is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition, complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
