As a study of magic in 'primitive' societies and its survival today in our thoughts and social actions, it represents what Claude Lévi-Strauss called, in an introduction to that edition, the astonishing modernity of the mind of one of the century's greatest thinkers. The book offers a fascinating snapshot of magic throughout various cultures as well as deep sociological and religious insights still very much relevant today. At a period when art, magic and science appear to be crossing paths once again, A General Theory of Magic presents itself as a classic for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862672998688,"sku":"NEW0415255503","price":229.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71o8k0NeF6L.jpg?v=1781634124","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-general-theory-of-magic-routledge-classics-0415255503","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
