"Thus at the outset of this seminal book, the author makes it clear that the way 'underdeveloped peoples' look at the world is different in kind from the way we do, and this primitive 'way' involves the notion that all things, beings, or whatever are in some fashion linked together, that there is no distinction between self and other, or between subject and object, past and present, animate and inanimate, etc."
C.S. Littleton
