About this document
Understanding Animism in Religion by sarkar salam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Animism is the belief that all things, both animate and inanimate, possess a spirit that connects them. It was an important feature of ancient religions and indigenous cultures. While animism was formally defined in 1871, elements of it can be seen in ancient philosophers like Pythagoras and Plato, and it remains a key part of some modern religions like Shinto. Animists reject the Cartesian distinction between mind and matter, instead believing that all things are interconnected through spirits.
