Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article provides a general discussion of Thai
conceptions of “merit” and “power”, considered in relation to the more general scheme which
is informed by what Hanks refers to as a “magico-animist” cosmology. Some insight is given
into the nature of Thai interpersonal relations, notions of social structure and social
coherence, and the Thai concept of person.
