Description

Explore the foundations of social theory with Primitive Classification, part of the Routledge Revivals series. Originally published in English in 1963, this influential work by Emile Durkheim and Mauss examines how the individual mind performs classification and seeks to identify the origins of the classificatory function within society. Through an intensive study of symbolic classification principles found in Australian aborigines, the Zuni, and traditional China, the authors establish a formal link between social structures and symbolic systems. This text argues that the way a society classifies its world is determined by its social form. This edition provides access to these fundamental arguments, making it a significant resource for students and scholars of anthropology and sociology. Whether you are researching the history of social science or the relationship between society and cognition, this volume offers a deep look into how social organization shapes human thought processes.
