Lucien Lévy-Bruhl was a French sociologist and anthropologist known for his work on primitive mentality. His most notable works include:
* "How Natives Think" (1910): This groundbreaking work explored the thought processes of "primitive" societies, arguing that they were fundamentally different from the "logical" thinking of Western cultures.
* "The "Soul" of the Primitive" (1927): This book expanded on his earlier work, focusing on the role of animism and mystical beliefs in shaping the worldview of "primitive" people.
* "The Primitive Mind" (1923): This work further developed his theories of "pre-logical" thinking and the influence of collective representations.
While these works were influential in their time, they have also been criticized for their ethnocentric bias and essentializing of "primitive" cultures. Nonetheless, Lévy-Bruhl's work remains significant for its contributions to the study of cultural diversity and the evolution of human thought.
