A new take on an old religious idea that challenges Cartesian thinking. Directly applicable to modern environmental conceptions and attitudes. Harvey is a consummate scholar and very well-rounded, but like many sociological/anthropological books, it is a bit of a dry read....it ain't Harry Potter.

How have human cultures engaged with and thought about animals, plants, rocks, clouds, and other elements in their natural surroundings? Do animals and other natural objects have a spirit or soul? What is their relationship to humans? In this new study, Graham Harvey explores current and past animistic beliefs and practices of Native Americans, Maori, Aboriginal Australians, and eco-pagans. He considers the varieties of animism found in these cultures as well as their shared desire to live respectfully within larger natural communities. Drawing on his extensive casework, Harvey also considers the linguistic, performative, ecological, and activist implications of these different animisms. No library descriptions found. |
