THE result of recent historical studies, whether on
anthropological, sociological, archeological, or religious lines,
has brought into ever clearer vision as the substratum of all
civilizations that stage of culture from which this book takes its
title. One consequence is: general recognition of animism as a life
factor, the power of which is not yet exhausted, the study of which
fascinates because of its almost infinite variety and its
persistent force. The words "animism," "animistic," have come to
fall ever so lightly from tongue and pen and meet us at every turn.
Yet what animism is few who use the term adequately realize. Though
Sir E. B. Tylor in his imperishable monograph on Primitive Culture
exhibited many of its phenomena and blocked out the main lines of
investigation over forty years ago, comparatively few understand
its significance or are acquainted with its manifestations even
yet. Fewer still comprehend the doings and beliefs as actual or
realize the state of mind--operations of perception and reason--of
those whose acts and beliefs we call animistic.
