Magic, Science and Society

by Alex Dennis

Book Overview

This book investigates how the 'rationality debate' has developed from E.E. Evans-Pritchard's study of Azande magic, through Peter Winch's argument that there can be no such thing as a social science, across the arguments about the status of science in the 1970s and 1980s, to the more recent epistemological and ontological turns.
