From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Scientific Theory of Culture and Other Essays is a 1944 anthropological book by the Polish scholar Bronisław Malinowski. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] It was published posthumously, two years after Malinowski's death. [10]

As the name implies, it focuses on Malinowki's view of culture. [1] [2] [3] [5] It also contains a short essay on James Frazer. [6]

Margaret Mead in her review for the American Journal of Sociology noted that "[t]his book ... will serve the great purpose of communicating the concept of culture to others." [1] Wolfgang Köhler writing for Social Research was more critical of the book. [3]
