Note 86 — Chapter I · DEFINITION OF RELIGIOUS PHENOMENA AND OF RELIGION[25]
Joseph Ward Swain translation
Robertson Smith has already pointed out that magic is opposed to religion, as the individual to the social (The Religion of the Semites, 2 edit., pp. 264-265). Also, in thus distinguishing magic from religion, we do not mean to establish a break of continuity between them. The frontiers between the two domains are frequently uncertain.
