Primitive Man as Philosopher

Exploring the philosophical insights of primitive cultures, this work challenges the biases of modern historians. It emphasizes the importance of understanding diverse customs without preconceived notions of superiority or inferiority. Radin argues that while cultural differences exist, they should not provoke horror or disdain, but rather be seen as fundamental aspects of human experience. The book invites readers to reconsider their judgments about other civilizations, promoting a more nuanced appreciation of the philosophical contributions of so-called primitive societies.
