A Scientific Theory of Culture and Other Essays

Bronislaw Malinowski

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 1990

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.
