How natives think

Lucien Levy-Bruhl, philosopher, sociologist, and ethnologist, was bom on April 10, 1857 and died on March 13, 1939, his incisive intellect not at all blunted by age. Levy-Bruhl taught in several lycees. He was head of the Sorbonne's Department of the History of Modern Philosophy, founder of the Institute of Ethnology, exchange professor at Harvard, and guest lecturer at various American universities. His influence on his students was enormous. HOW NATIVES THINK received great acclaim upon its publication in 1910. It also provoked considerable controversy. Translated into EngUsh in 1926, HOW NATIVES THINK has long been out of print, and thus unavailable to new generations of students. WASHINGTON SQUARE PRESS is pleased to remedy this situation with its fine new edition of Levy-Bruhl's stimulating work.
