Purity and Danger by Mary Douglas
With a specially commissioned preface by the author which assesses the continuing significance of the work, this Routledge Classics edition will ensure that Purity and Danger continues to challenge, question and inspire for many years to come."Professor Douglas writes gracefully, lucidly and polemicallyShe continually makes points which illuminate matters in the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of science and help to show the rest of us just why and how anthropology has become a fundamentally intellectual discipline." - New Society
"Professor Douglas' book sparkles with intellectual life and is characterised by a concern to understand. Right or wrong, sound or idiosyncratic, it presents a rare and exciting spectacle of a mind at work." - Times Literary Supplement
Dame Mary Douglas (1921-2007), was one of the most distinguished British social anthropologists known for her works on human culture, symbolism and risk.
