From the early days of the rise to power of Hitler, Bronislaw Malinowski was an outspoken opponent of National Socialism. He began at that time to devote much attention to the analysis of war, from its development and throughout history to its disastrous manifestations at the start of the Second World War. Freedom and Civilization, first published in 1947, is the final expression of Malinowski's basic beliefs and conclusions regarding the war, totalitarianism and the future of humanity. This book will be of interest to students of politics and history.

"Ich habe fur dieses Buch den schlichtesten, das heisst den wahrhaftigsten Titel gewahlt - zum Teil, um beizutragen zur Rehabilitierung des unentbehrlichen und oft missbrauchten Ausdrucks Geschlechtsleben," andernteils um unverblumt auszusprechen, was der Leser in den freimutigsten Abschnitten zu erwarten habe. Geschlechtlichkeit hat fur den primitiven Sudseeinsulaner ebensowenig wie fur uns die blosse physiologische Verrichtung zum Inhalt, sondern auch Liebe und Liebesleben; sie bildet den Kern so altehrwurdiger Institutionen wie Ehe und Familie; von ihr ist die Kunst durchdrungen, sie hat...

2015 Reprint of 1954 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In his handling of science, magic, and religion, Malinowski essentially accepted the traditional Western conception of a dual reality-the reality of the natural world, grounded in observation and rational procedures that lead to mastery, and supernatural reality, grounded in emotional needs that give rise to faith. Unlike Frazer, for example, Malinowski derived science not from magic but from mans capacity to organize knowledge, as demonstrated by Trobriand technical...

Bronislaw Malinowski s pathbreaking Argonauts of the Western Pacific is at once a detailed account of exchange in the Melanesian islands and a manifesto of a modernist anthropology. Malinowski argued that the goal of which the ethnographer should never lose sight is to grasp the native s point of view, his relation to life, to realise his vision of his world. Through vivid evocations of Kula life, including the building and launching of canoes, fishing expeditions and the role of myth and magic amongst the Kula people, Malinowski brilliantly describes an inter-island system of...

Malinowski presents in this book his definitive statement of the theory of functionalism. As the essential clue to the understanding of human behavior, primitive and civilized, he analyzes the functional principle that culture is an examination of the fundamentals of anthropology for the purpose of constructing a general system to explain the facts of culture by this principle.
