Psychology and Psychotechnics

Andreev, I. L. Secret Ritual Societies of Africa: Essays on Philosophy and Psychology.

Abstract: Secret ritual societies of Tropical Africa are a relict of history and at the same time, an alternative to a modern state institution. The psychological mechanism of regulation of traditional relations can be autonomous and rather tolerant towards the central state institution and municipal authorities, at the best case, but it can also appear to be a mystifi ed foundation for the opposition, separatism and crime. The study of these societies allows us to specify and enrich a wide range of terms and concepts in social anthropology and philosophy of history.
