An Anthropological and Neurobiological Approach

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing about a creative dialogue between the anthropologist's own experience of magical consciousness and theoretical analysis, this book is a poly-vocal study in which the voices of the neurobiologist, anthropologist as anthropologist, anthropologist as native, and various spirit beings weave an alternative narrative displaying the process of magical thinking.
