Description

Animism and the Question of Life offers a fresh perspective on one of the most classic themes in anthropology. This volume seeks to change the current terms of debate regarding animism by looking beyond traditional definitions. It moves past the original concepts established by Edward B. Tylor, who viewed animism as an early phase in religious development. By combining high-quality ethnographic material with a wide geographic scope, this book provides a global view of the subject. Readers can explore research spanning the Americas, Asia, and Africa. The text includes firsthand research on the Chachi of Ecuador, providing deep insight into specific cultural practices. This work is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in how modern anthropology re-evaluates long-standing theories of belief and existence.
