FIRST EDITION. Half title with German TP on verso + TP in English + v-vi = Introductory Note + [1]-18e. Large octavo. First Edition (Fr/McG: R.F., p. 43). Wittgenstein Attacks Frazer's Iconic Golden Bough - His Only Foray into Anthropological Theory - "What narrowness of life we find in Frazer!"Over the years, Wittgenstein formed close relationships with several of his students. In the early 1930s, one that he particularly relied upon on for insightful conversations was Maurice Drury. Their shared animosity toward academic elitism inspired their criticism of James Frazer's pioneering work in social anthropology, The Golden Bough. This short commentary was fueled by their shared outrage at the premises and conclusions of the book. Unfortunately, they barely made it through the first half of the first volume (there were twelve volumes in all) because the book so constantly enraged Wittgenstein, who could hardly make it through a sentence without some sort of angry outburst. Frazer's work would come to be known in the mid-20th century for having espoused entrenched notions of Eurocentric superiority in what should have been objective anthropological approaches. In this short work, Wittgenstein condemns the self-serving superiority assumed by Frazer, anticipating the criticism that would become mainstream decades after Wittgenstein's first stated them here. Wittgenstein forcefully demonstrates how this kind of racist, aristocratic, and Christian-centric superiority is the necessary consequence of an anthropological or sociological thinker who insists on using their intellectual work to explain rather than describe. For Wittgenstein, anthropological work immediately and necessarily becomes nefarious when it falls into the service of some grand theory of behavior. The product of anthropology is only useful or meaningful when it is done in the service of fruitfully describing, or "translating", one network of socio-cultural values and practices to another. Since both publishers are noted on the front panel and the spine of the dust jacket, we are presuming that the book and the dust jacket were printed in England as seen here. Whether the pasted over information was required to correct printed errors or to simply provide information left off of that page when first printed is unknown. Despite the minor flaws of the dust jacket, this is a lovely copy of this important anthropological screed by Wittgenstein. [See our Catalog 24: Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Man and His Thought for a collection of 81 books and pamphlets by and about Wittgenstein.] Publisher's original light yellow price clipped dust jacket with just a couple of minor stains to the front panel and a small closed tear along the top edge. Over the publisher's original black cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. With a former owner's signature ("L. E. Andrade") to the upper right corner of the front free endpaper. The verso of the title page has the publisher's" information pasted down below this. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. in 1979 By Humanities Press Inc.
