Paul Radin fut un anthropologue culturel et folkloriste américain dont le travail s'est penché en profondeur sur l'étude et l'interprétation des mythologies et des traditions religieuses de diverses cultures. Son approche de la recherche se caractérisait par un effort pour comprendre la pensée humaine universelle et le symbolisme à travers l'examen détaillé des récits folkloriques. Radin s'est concentré sur la découverte des significations plus profondes et des aspects psychologiques qui façonnent la compréhension humaine du monde. Son influence réside dans sa conception globale de la culture et des expressions spirituelles de l'humanité.
