Abstract:
This book offers nothing less than a comprehensive theory of the sacred object from the viewpoint of anthropology and the history of religion. Taking the riddle of fetishism as its starting point, it shows how people of all cultures ascribe immeasurable value to things, even to the point of making their own destiny dependent on them.
