Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-27 00:00:00 Varinthorn Pulsirivong Il saggio è interessante quale testimonianza di un ingenuo positivismo, incapace di mettere nella luce più adeguata la posizione di concetti filosofici che Thorndike classifica con pretenziosa sicurezza come “magici”. Aiuta a comprendere maggiormente l’importanza di un Husserl.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-18 00:00:00 Gary Schulz As a whole this text does act as a good historical primer on the foundations of magical thought in Europe. The writing is a bit antiquated from the modern perspective, but understandable given the 1905 publication date. It is also important to note that the writing style can come off as "snobbish" at times since the author is effectively passing judgment on a large number of writers in antiquity. Regardless, this is a relevant text for those wishing to explore the development of intellectual thought in Europe and the work acts as a primer for the much longer "History of Magic and Experimental Science" by the same author. This is a bit of a rare title (250 hand-numbered copies) so those wishing to read the text may wish to turn to other reprints.
