Robin Horton (1932 - 2019) was an English social anthropologist and philosopher. Horton carried out specialised study in comparative religion since the 1950s where he challenged and expanded views in the study of the anthropology of religion.

During 40 years of residence in Africa, he worked as a researcher and a professor of philosophy and re
