Fetichism: A Contribution To Anthropology And The History Of Religion is a book written by Fritz Schultze, a German anthropologist and historian of religion. The book explores the concept of fetishism, which is the attribution of magical properties to objects or materials, and its role in various cultures and religions throughout history. Schultze examines the origins and evolution of fetishism, its relationship to animism and totemism, and its significance in the beliefs and practices of different societies, from ancient Egypt to modern Africa. He also discusses the psychological and social implications of fetishism, including its impact on individual and collective identity, power relations, and cultural exchange. The book draws on a wide range of sources, including ethnographic studies, historical records, and philosophical reflections, and offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of a complex and controversial topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
