The lines of demarcation between these ideas depend upon the perspective of a variety of anthropologists, but Tambiah has his own opinions regarding magic, science, and religion.

While generally considered distinct categories in western cultures, the interactions, similarities, and differences have been central to the study of magic for many theorists in sociology and anthropology, including Frazer, Mauss, S. J. Tambiah, Malinowski, Michael Nevin and Isabelle Sarginson.

According to Tambiah, magic, science, and religion all have their own " quality of rationality ", and have been influenced by politics and ideology.

As opposed to religion, Tambiah suggests that mankind has a much more personal control over events.

S. J. Tambiah notes, however, that even if the power of the ritual is said to reside in the words, " the words only become effective if uttered in a very special context of other action.

One example that Tambiah gives is related to adoption.

Tambiah cites the example of a native hitting the ground with a stick.

In " The Magical Power of Words " ( 1968 ) S. J. Tambiah argues that the connection between language and magic is due to a belief in the inherent ability of words to influence the universe.

In this respect, Tambiah argues that magical languages violate the primary function of language: communication.

This leads Tambiah to conclude that " the remarkable disjunction between sacred and profane language which exists as a general fact is not necessarily linked to the need to embody sacred words in an exclusive language.

According to Tambiah, religion is based on an organized community, and it is supposed to encompass all aspects of life.

Science, according to Tambiah, is " a system of behavior by which man acquires mastery of the environment.

Tambiah states that magic is a strictly ritualistic action that implements forces and objects outside the realm of the gods and the supernatural.

Leading thinkers of this category, including Stanley J. Tambiah, believe that magic is meant to be expressive, rather than instrumental.

As opposed to the direct, mimetic thinking of Frazer, Tambiah asserts that magic utilizes abstract analogies to express a desired state, along the lines of metonymy or metaphor.
