belief in an impersonal indwelling of souls in nature or in its component parts and phenomena, a characteristic of primitive religions.

The question of when animatism arose in the history of social awareness has not yet been resolved by science. Certain scholars (L. Ia. Shternberg and others) regard animatism as an earlier stage in the development of religion than animism; others (such as V. G. Bogoraz-Tan) believe that they coexisted.
