This work explores the cultural and social practices of various primitive societies, examining their beliefs, customs, and moral values as they relate to our understanding of human civilization. The book likely presents a detailed account of the intricate belief systems, social regulations, and moral philosophies found among so-called savage tribes, aiming to provide a more sympathetic and nuanced view of their way of life. The opening of the book establishes a framework for analyzing savage beliefs, suggesting that these beliefs are often misconceived through a biased lens. Farrer discusses the nature of savage intelligence and the complexities of their moral and political systems, revealing contradictions within their cultural practices. For instance, he notes the apparent sophistication of certain rituals juxtaposed with extreme moral behaviors, emphasizing that notions of ethics and community responsibilities often mirror those found in more advanced societies. The author attempts to reclaim the dignity and respects of these tribes by gently critiquing the superficial judgments often placed upon them by outsiders.
