Levy-Bruhl framed a binary between Western logic and primitive prelogical mentality

Evidence

From Lévy-Brühl’s assertion we can deduce a theory of two types of mentality: (1) the Western participates in rational, logical thought and inquiries into causal determinations and relations; and (2) “primitives” are pre-logical and strictly depend upon the law of mystical participation. This binary opposition model conceived by Lévy-Brühl ushered in contributions dealing with “primitive philosophies”. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 514
