Description

Animism and the Question of Life challenges conventional anthropological thinking on animism, moving beyond Edward Tylor's evolutionary framework that positioned it as religion's earliest phase. This Routledge Studies in Anthropology volume synthesizes exceptional ethnographic research spanning the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with original fieldwork on the Chachi people of Ecuador. The book reframes the fundamental debate about animism's role in human societies, combining rigorous scholarship with diverse geographic perspectives to offer contemporary insights into how different cultures understand life, agency, and the animate world. Essential reading for anthropologists, ethnographers, and scholars examining animistic worldviews beyond outdated developmental models.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Anthropology series publication offering peer-reviewed scholarship on animism and religious anthropology.

Includes firsthand ethnographic research on the Chachi of Ecuador, providing primary source material for anthropological study.

Covers animism across three continents - the Americas, Asia, and Africa - enabling cross-cultural comparative analysis.

Challenges the classical Tylor definition of animism as an evolutionary phase, advancing contemporary anthropological theory.

Combines theoretical frameworks with extensive ethnographic material for both academic and applied anthropological contexts.
