Autorenporträt
Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-1899) was a pioneering American archeologist and ethnologist whose intensive work in the field of Native American languages and cultures marked him as a notable figure in the scholarly circles of the late 19th century. Brinton was born in Thornbury Township, Pennsylvania, and after obtaining his M.D. from Jefferson Medical College in 1860, he served as a surgeon in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Brinton's medical career, however, was overshadowed by his impassioned interest in ethnology and anthropology, fields in which he was largely self-taught. His literary oeuvre includes 'The Religious Sentiment: Its Source and Aim: A Contribution to the Science and Philosophy of Religion' (1876), in which he explores the nature and development of religious feelings in human societies, aiming to probe its psychological and sociological underpinnings. Brinton's scholarly style combines extensive field research with comparative analysis, manifest in his works on myth, language, and culture. He held the position of Professor of Ethnology and Archaeology at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, highlighting his active engagement with academic communities. Brinton's contributions have been instrumental in shaping the early contours of American anthropological and ethnographic studies, cementing his legacy as a dedicated and influential scholar in his field.
