This is a list of ethnological works used by Lucien Lévy-Bruhl.
The following alphabetical overview aims to facilitate and clarify access to the ethnological source material cited by the French scholar Lucien Lévy-Bruhl (1857–1939) by providing various forms of guidance within Wikipedia, with particular emphasis on the sources used in his later works. Our point of departure is La Mythologie primitiveThis work, regarded as the least problematic (Canetti, Masse und Macht), deals with the mythical world of the Australian Aborigines and the Papua. (1935), followed by L'Expérience mystique (1938), and culminating in the posthumously published Carnets (1949).From the work Le Surnaturel et la nature dans la mentalité primitive (1931), material was at times appended en bloc at the end of each letter using the version available at litlife.club (pp. 162 ff., including some spelling errors taken over from that source); the same procedure was applied to material from L’expérience mystique et les symboles (1938), following espanito.com. The problematic aspects of Lévy-Bruhl's work have been addressed on multiple occasions.See, for example, Edward E. Evans-Pritchard: "Levy-Bruhl's Theory of Primitive Mentality", Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts, Egyptian University, Cairo, 2, 1934; Mary Douglas: Purity and Danger. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1966; Frédéric Keck: Lucien Lévy-Bruhl: Entre philosophie et anthropologie. 2008 (online preview), among others.
The list includes both the names of the authors cited and the publication series in which their works appeared. Wherever possible, links are provided to existing Wikipedia articles, in some cases to articles in other languages. The primary aim of the list is to enhance the transparency and accessibility of the referenced source material.
Particular attention appears to have been paid to the increasingly modern ethnographic reports that emerged after the founding of the (Institute of Ethnology) in Paris in 1925, which was affiliated with the University of Paris.That is, of the intellectual center of French colonialism founded by Lucien Lévy-Bruhl. These include, for example, contributions published in the journal Oceania, as well as reports from the expeditions of Rasmussen and the works of Landtman, , Leenhardt, among others. In addition to references to relevant Wikipedia articles, the list incorporates supplementary information and, where available, indications of existing digital reproductions.
This list does not claim to be exhaustive.
