2. Thefollowing quotation from Prof. Joseph astrow’s review of Levy-Bruhls How Natives Think (translation by Lillian A. Clare) is of interest in this connection. « What Levy Bruhl makes clear is that the primitive mind is quite a different type of psychic instrument ; it is in the pre-logical stage, and is differentlyÿ orientated toward the world of things and spirits. It works in a different medium and milieu. Itis not so muchthatitlacks what we possess in our mental heritage as that its animus is differently directed, differently inspired, differenfly interested. We work with concepts : the pre-logical stage ofthe concept Levy-Bruhl calls’ collective representation”. not a good term but not easy to improve upon. Its essential characteristics are that it arises and derives itsforce from the collective social life, and thatit has deep emotional source and sway». New-York Nation, vol., 123, n° 3199 (1926).
