John Halstead – “A World Full of Persons: Animism for the Religious Naturalist” (April 21, 2024)

 

Animists see a world that is full of other-than-human persons. For the animist, there is no such thing as inanimate matter, because it is all a part of the complex self-regulating living system called Gaia. Animism is not about the projection of consciousness or agency onto non-human things, but about respect and reciprocity within a more-than-human community.
