''Fear and Conventionality'' is a book written by Elsie Clews Parsons, an American anthropologist and folklorist. The book explores the relationship between fear and conventionality in human societies. Parsons argues that fear is a fundamental human emotion that shapes our behavior and attitudes towards social norms and conventions. She examines various cultural practices and rituals that are designed to alleviate fear and maintain social order. Parsons also discusses the role of fear in the formation of individual and group identities, and how it can be used to manipulate people for political or religious purposes. The book is a fascinating exploration of the complex interplay between fear and conventionality in human societies, and provides valuable insights into the psychology of human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
