Animism - Definition of Animism: All that is beautiful, magnanimous and altruistic comes neither from the cold reason, nor from the emotional heart, but rather from the soul.

Animism is a power of the soul, its effect on men is always positive, somehow divine.

But what is soul?

It is the spiritual component of men in contrast to their body; it has nothing to do with mind and intellect, or with heart and feelings, as the ancient animists and the modern psychology of the unconscious believe.

The recognition of a living entity inside men able to survive after their death is a form of animism.

All that is beautiful, magnanimous and altruistic comes neither from the cold reason, nor from the emotional heart, but rather from the soul.
