- Book Synopsis
- Volume 2 of this classic two-part work by the distinguished anthropologist Edward B. Tylor focuses on the social interpretation of animism ― the belief that everything, even an inanimate object, possesses a soul. Starting with prehistoric expressions of animism, Tylor examines the evolution of religion to trace the development of mind and culture.
