What reading level is Social Anthropology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The empirical value of Radcliffe-Brown's work decreased as his statements about the nature of society become more dogmatic: societies were natural organisms and their study in terms of function and integration precluded the possibility of discussing the evident fact of change. The application of indi- vidual psychology to social phenomena was rightly rejected, but the individual, for whom words and actions have meaning, was elimin- ated with it; a natural science must not concern itself with sp...eculative history and therefore history and the methods of historians were irrelevant. Empiricism became speculative in the worst sense and there was an evident need to return to the authority of human chpice.
I In effect a new approach was developing out of the increased emphasis upon field-work and it may be characterized as a shift from function to meaning. This shift and the attendant theo- retical development are associated primarily with the works of E. E. Evans-Pritchard, who was to succeed Radcliffe-Brown in his chair at Oxford.
