James G. Frazer Book order (chronological)

Sir James George Frazer was a Scottish social anthropologist whose work fundamentally shaped the early stages of mythology and comparative religion studies. His most renowned work meticulously documents the global similarities between magical and religious beliefs. Frazer theorized that human thought progressed through three stages: primitive magic, superseded by religion, which was in turn eventually replaced by science. His writings offer a profound exploration into the evolution of human cognition and faith.
