«L'ànima primitiva» is the essay by anthropologist and philosopher Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (368 pages, in Catalan).
In this essay, Lévy-Bruhl analyzes the mentality of so-called primitive societies and their way of understanding reality, governed by mystical participation and a prelogical logic different from the Western one. Originally published in 1927, the book argues that this thought is not an inferior stage but a worldview with its own features, and studies myths, dreams and perceptions to show the diversity of human experiences.
This Catalan edition, from 1985, belongs to the Clàssics del Pensament Modern collection and translates Lévy-Bruhl's original French text.
A work of interest for readers of anthropology, philosophy and the history of thought.
