More about the book
Using the theme of traditional ethnology, the author seeks to describe the mechanisms of thought as a universal attribute of the human mind. For him, wild thought is present in every person as long as it has not been cultivated and domesticated for "productive purposes." By using the idea of productivity, he contrasts the immediate utility of science and knowledge needed by what he calls the primitive for survival with a form of thought adapted to the social needs or productivity of modern societies.
