Note 26 — Chapter I · PURPOSE AND METHOD
Reading edition
The best objection against this analogy in any definite use is made by O. Gruppe, Griechische Culte und Mythen, p. 199. The child and the savage, he points out, have each a small range of perceptions; the ways in which they enlarge this range are diametrically opposed. One does it productively; the other, receptively. See, too, a bit of sarcasm over the complacent scorn for the “childish” savages felt by civilized man, Grosse, Anfänge der Kunst, pp. 51 f.
