Primitive Classification (Paper Only) by Marcel Mauss
Emile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss maintain that society is the source of the very categories of human thought. First published in the Ann e Sociologique in 1903, this classic essay has been translated by Rodney Needham, who also provides a critical introduction. Primitive Classification] will impress the reader with its quiet elegance, its direct, logical form, its clarity of style, its spirit of careful, yet bold, exploration.--Harry Alpert, American Journal of Sociology Particularly instructive for anyone who wonders what social anthropology is: how, if at all, it differs from sociology and whether it has any unifying theoretical problem.--F. K. Lehman, American Sociological ReviewMarcel Mauss (1872 - 1950) As well as being a sociologist and anthropologist, Mauss was also a revolutionary socialist. Today his name is associated with the leading intellectual movement in France, MAUSS.
