This book offers an introduction to social anthropology: its basic theories and how they apply to the study of the different ways in which men think and act in society. The author examines the concept of social organization, with special attention to the role of individual choice in social affairs, the exercise of responsibility, and the nature of social change. He discusses the economic, esthetic, moral and religious values on social organization. He uses numerous illustrations to compare values and patterns of conduct in the Western world with those in "primitive," technically underdeveloped societies.--
