Animism or Thought Currents of Primitive Peoples is a book written by George William Gilmore that explores the concept of animism and its influence on the beliefs and practices of primitive societies. Animism is the belief that all things, including inanimate objects, possess a spirit or soul. Gilmore examines the origins of animism, its prevalence in various cultures, and how it has shaped the worldview of primitive peoples. He also discusses the impact of animism on religion, art, and social structures. The book provides a comprehensive overview of animism and its significance in the study of anthropology and cultural history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the beliefs and practices of primitive societies and their impact on modern culture.First there is the avenue of cult, where definite acts of devotion or gift (sacrifice) unfailingly indicate belief in the sentient and potent capabilities of the object addressed. It is obvious that even the most naive of savages pay no attention of this sort to objects which they conceive to be without the qualities of life, sensation, emotion, and power. The second avenue is that of folk-lore and mythology. To some this may appear trivial and unworthy of serious attention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
