Title: Pensée sauvage
Description: The author demonstrates how each culture has its own system of the concepts and categories derived from experience and imposed by the surrounding natural world. Through the order in the naming of plants and animals, concepts of space and time, myths and rituals, primitive societies engage in a high level of abstract reasoning different from but not necessarily inferior to that involved in cultivated "systematic thought."
