Abstract
BRONISLAW MALINOWSKI died in the United States in 1942 leaving a number of unfinished manuscripts in various stages of development. Two of these, "A Scientific Theory of Culture"(reviewed in Nature of August 25, 1945) and the present work, to some extent overlap. "Freedom and Civilization"may be regarded as a war-time political manifesto superimposed on the body of anthropological theory expounded in the earlier volume. This topical quality is manifest in the introductory section, "Political Prelude", and in the first chapter of Part 2 entitled "What we are fighting for". It is therefore unfortunate that the book-wrapper of the present English edition should give the impression that the book is an ‘objective' contribution to political philosophy. Freedom and Civilization By Bronislaw Malinowski. Pp. xiv + 338. (London: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1947.) 16s. net.
