Pantheism, Its Story and Significance Religions Ancient and Modern This scientific theory is, in itself, unimpeachable; normal phenomena, psychological and physical, might suggest most of the animistic beliefs.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1 To ourselves, and doubtless or probably to barbarians on a certain level of culture, such a Divine Being must be animistic, must be a 'spirit.' The Making of Religion They mean that the older ways of interpreting nature, animistic or supernatural, are being supplanted by explanations founded on knowledge of physical facts and "natural" laws. Nature Mysticism The concept includes such things as in the apprehension of the animistic savage or barbarian are formidable by virtue of a real or imputed habit of initiating action. Theory of the Leisure Class Even setting aside the animistic hypothesis, the subject is full of curious neglected problems. Cock Lane and Common-Sense An entirely different class of ideas, also termed animistic, is the belief in the world soul, held by Plato, Schelling and others. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 2, Part 1, Slice 1 When we call the Supreme Being of savages a 'spirit' we introduce our own animistic ideas into a conception where it may not have originally existed.

Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature Their place in the later phases of devout observance, as well as in the higher educational system, is that of a survival from a very early animistic phase of the development of human nature. Theory of the Leisure Class This uniformity, to a certain extent, is not surprising, for savage, classical, and modern spiritualism all repose on the primæval animistic hypothesis as their metaphysical foundation. Cock Lane and Common-Sense Chemists and physicians have given up talking of spirits, but in discussing social and economic questions we are still victimized by the primitive animistic tendencies of the mind. The Mind in the Making The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform The Zulus are the great standing type of an animistic or ghost-worshipping race without a God.

Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature In the discussion of the sporting temperament, it has appeared that the sense of an animistic propensity in material things and events is what affords the spiritual basis of the sporting man's gambling habit. Theory of the Leisure Class In the same way a few genuine wraiths, or ghosts, or ‘veridical hallucinations,’ would be enough to start the animistic hypothesis, or to confirm it notably, if it was already started. Cock Lane and Common-Sense Only later did the animistic belief in the personalities of men, animals, and the forces of nature appear. The Mind in the Making The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform Let religion begin as pure as snow, it would be corrupted by priestly trafficking in its lucrative animistic aspect.

Science & Education Indeed, the complete series of successive phases of animistic belief is to be found unbroken in the spiritual furniture of any sporting community. Theory of the Leisure Class This order of phenomena, like those of clairvoyance and wraiths, might either give rise to the savage animistic hypothesis, or, at least, might confirm it greatly. Cock Lane and Common-Sense Throughout the centuries pantheistic and animistic forms of mysticism have found many adherents among the Mohammedans; but the infallible Agreement has persisted in calling that heresy. Mohammedanism Lectures on Its Origin, Its Religious and Political Growth, and Its Present State But as we are now among polytheists it may be argued that, given a crowd of gods on the animistic model, an origin had to be found for them, and that origin was Taa-roa.

Theory of the Leisure Class Into the question of fact, Mr. Tylor explicitly declines to enter; these things only concern him because they have been commonly explained by the ‘animistic hypothesis,’ that is, by the fancied action of spirits. Cock Lane and Common-Sense But, without enumerating further instances of these savage dream-traditions, which are closely allied with the animistic theories of primitive culture, we would turn to those plants which modern European folk-lore has connected with dreamland. The Folk-lore of Plants It is consistent, whereas the animistic hypothesis is, in this case, inconsistent, with the universal savage theory of Death. The Making of Religion For the most part, no great persuasion was needed to turn a simple, imaginative, fatalistic people from a few vague animistic deities to the systematic iconology and the elaborate ritual of the Spanish Church. The Social Cancer So far as this is the case it must be set down as the expression of an archaic, animistic habit of mind. Theory of the Leisure Class Normal facts, perhaps, may have suggested the belief in spirits, the animistic hypothesis. Cock Lane and Common-Sense Indeed, under a variety of forms this animistic conception is found among the lower races, and in certain cases explains the strong prejudice to certain herbs as articles of food. The Folk-lore of Plants The ghost comes from, and depends on, the animistic theory; the Supreme Being, as originally thought of, does not. The Making of Religion Nevertheless it is not uncommon to meet with instances of persons who appear able to reconcile their faith in revealed religion with their animistic emotion. Far Away and Long Ago This lowering of efficiency through a penchant for animistic methods of apprehending facts is especially apparent when taken in the mass-when a given population with an animistic turn is viewed as a whole. Theory of the Leisure Class First, if clairvoyance, wraiths, and the other alleged phenomena, really do occur, or have occurred, then savage man had much better grounds for the animistic hypothesis than if no such phenomena ever existed. Cock Lane and Common-Sense "There is something grand in this old animistic conception," Eames had said. South Wind To the lower, non-ghostly Tongan gods the animistic habit of sacrifice had been extended, but not yet to the Supreme Being. The Making of Religion Before the classic period we find in Traherne a poetry which was distinctly animistic, with Christianity grafted on it. Far Away and Long Ago The industrial value of such a lively animistic sense, or of such recourse to a preternatural agency or the guidance of an unseen hand, is of course very much the same in either case. Theory of the Leisure Class His enthusiasm of knowledge is literally an enthusiasm: has about it that character of possession of one person by another, by which those "animistic" old Greeks explained natural madness. Plato and Platonism There is, then, no good reason to suppose that the Kayans attribute life, soul, or animation to inert material objects; and they do not explain the majority of physical events animistically. The Pagan Tribes of Borneo We then collected from his work a series of alleged supernormal phenomena in savage belief, all making for the foundation of animistic religion. The Making of Religion In this atmosphere of unbroken personality, he repeats continually the mistakes of the early savage, the animistic tendency we should as a race have long since outgrown. The Forerunner, Volume 1 (1909-1910) This animistic explanation of phenomena is a form of the fallacy which the logicians knew by the name of ignava ratio. Theory of the Leisure Class This current hypothesis is, confessedly, "animistic," in Mr. Tylor's phrase, or, in Mr. Spencer's terminology, it is "the ghost theory". Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 Experiences of practical self-constitution as nomadic, animistic, and tribal are no longer confined to the small scale of the respective community. The Civilization of Illiteracy These rites and the animistic conception behind them were next, in rare cases, reflected or refracted back on the Supreme Eternal. The Making of Religion Some people have jeered at the 'animistic' or 'anthropomorphic' tendency of primitive man in his contemplation of the forces of Nature or his imaginations of religion and the gods. Pagan and Christian creeds: their origin and meaning Apart from its direct industrial consequences, the animistic habit has a certain significance for economic theory on other grounds. Theory of the Leisure Class We answer, the evolution, through ghosts, of "animistic" gods who retained the hunger and selfishness of these ancestral spirits whom the lowest savages are not known to worship. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 The developments under scrutiny affect surviving pre-literate societies-the nomadic, animistic population of Sudan, the tribes of the Brazilian Amazon forests, remote populations of Africa, Asia, Australia-as they affect the literate and post- literate. The Civilization of Illiteracy To him who reaches this point the whole animistic doctrine of ghosts as the one germ of religion will appear to be imperilled. The Making of Religion The modern 'spiritualistic' theory, again, that the dead man's 'spirit' is actually present to the percipient, in space, corresponds to, and is derived from, the animistic philosophy of the savage. The Making of Religion So, for instance, barbarian peoples with a well-developed predatory scheme of life are commonly also possessed of a strong prevailing animistic habit, a well-formed anthropomorphic cult, and a lively sense of status. Theory of the Leisure Class There must be a reason for these phenomena, and that reason, as it seems to me, is the overlaying and supersession of a rudely Theistic by an animistic creed. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 They embodied an animistic view, while actually answering needs and expectations corresponding to a scale of human existence beyond that of animistic practical experiences. The Civilization of Illiteracy On our hypothesis this indifference of high gods suggests the crowding out of the great disinterested God by venal animistic competition. The Making of Religion This is precisely what we should expect to find, if Ahone, the Creator, were earlier in evolution, while Okeus and the rest were of the usual greedy class of animistic corruptible deities, useful to priests. The Making of Religion For the economic purpose, this sense of propensity is substantially the same psychological element as expresses itself, under a variety of forms, in animistic beliefs and anthropomorphic creeds. Theory of the Leisure Class Among certain of the lowest savages, although they believe in ghosts, the animistic conception, the spiritual idea, is not attached to the relatively supreme being of their faith. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 I have argued, indeed, that the God of low savages who imparts the divine sanction of ethical laws is not of animistic origin. The Making of Religion The blending of the theistic and the animistic beliefs was indispensable to religion. The Making of Religion Polytheism everywhere—in Greece especially—held of the animistic conception, with its freakish, corruptible deities. The Making of Religion That barbarian human nature in which the predatory instinct and the animistic standpoint predominate is normally prone to both. Theory of the Leisure Class Therefore the animistic theory is not necessary as material for the "god-idea". Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 A god made on the animistic model can be assigned to any department of human activity, down to sports, or lusts, or the province of Cloacina. The Making of Religion But, in the process of animistic development under advancing social conditions, degeneration was necessarily implied. The Making of Religion Other civilised peoples, say the Greeks, extended the second, or animistic theory, into forms of beautiful fantasy, the material of art. The Making of Religion The shortcomings of this presumptively primitive type of character are weakness, inefficiency, lack of initiative and ingenuity, and a yielding and indolent amiability, together with a lively but inconsequential animistic sense. Theory of the Leisure Class Thus gods MAY be prior in evolution to ghosts, and therefore the animistic theory of the origin of gods in ghosts need not necessarily be accepted. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 It is to be remarked that a lively, but slightly specialized, animistic belief is to be found in most if not all peoples living in the ante-predatory, savage stage of culture. Theory of the Leisure Class We therefore examine certain forms of the animistic hypothesis as applied to account for the religion of Israel. The Making of Religion The other, complementary element of devout life—the animistic habit of mind—is recruited and conserved by a second range of practices organized under clerical sanction. Theory of the Leisure Class This is only a farther development of animistic belief. Theory of the Leisure Class Manifestly the current hypothesis—that all religion is animistic in origin—does not account for these facts, and is obliged to fly to an undemonstrated theory of degradation, or to an undemonstrated theory of borrowing. Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 Where the animistic habit is present in the naive form, its scope and range of application are not defined or limited. Theory of the Leisure Class |
