TY - JOUR ID - 827494 AU - Chalupa, Aleš - Radová, Irena PY - 2008 TI - Magic in Pliny the Elder: Clear-cut Concept or No Concept at all? PB - Masarykova univerzita CY - Brno SN - 9788021047754 KW - magic KW - definition KW - emic KW - etic KW - Pliny the Elder N2 - The article tries to ascertain whether emicly constructed categories of magic can be used for refinement of etic categories of magic so far proposed in the modern scholarship. As a test case was chosen Pliny the Elder who wrote about magic in his encyclopedia Naturalis Historia (especially in book 30). After the analysis of his concept of magic it can be shown that his emic category of magic is problematic in the same way as its modern scientific paralels and cannot be used as a universal scientific category.
