Magic, science and religion in Western thought : anthropology's intellectual legacy Anthropology's intellectual legacy (continued) Sir Edward Tylor versus Bronislaw Malinowski : is magic false science or meaningful performance? Malinowski's demarcations and his exposition of the magical art Multiple orderings of reality : the debate initiated by Levy-Bruhl Rationality, relativism, the translation and commensurability of cultures Modern science and its extensions
Most anthropologists who have attempted to demarcate and contrast magic, science and religion as cross-cultural categories appear to have been unaware of the rich and long intellectual history of Western thought which framed their own specialized writings. In this book, Professor Tambiah reexamines magic, science and religion within the framework of this history, including the Judaic religion, early Greek science, Renaissance philosophy, the Protestant Reformation, and the European scientific revolution in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He establishes the influence of this legacy on anthropological discourse, and then considers the contents and implications of three interpretive approaches: the intellectualist and evolutionary theories of Tylor and Frazer, Malinowski’s functionalism, and Levy-Bruhl’s distinction between mystical and logical mentalities. This is followed by a discussion of rationality, relativism, and the translation and commensurability of cultures, which are all key issues in contemporary anthropology and philosophy today. The book ends with an assessment of the implications of recent developments in the history and philosophy of science for the discussion of magic, science and religion. Stanley Jeyaraja Tambiah (1929- 2014) was a social anthropologist and Esther and Sidney Rabb Professor (Emeritus) of Anthropology at Harvard University. He specialised in studies of Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Tamils, as well as the anthropology of religion and politics.
