Excerpt from The Threshold of Religion
Revision has been limited to a few trifling emen dations of the form of expression and to a hand ful of explanatory notes. I have thought it fairer to my readers, and indeed to myself, not to prune away inconsistencies, but to allow the way in which my thought has grown to declare itself. The.

Excerpt from The Threshold of Religion
At the International Congress for the History of Religions held recently in Oxford, several friends who listened to the paper on "The Conception of Mana," which appears fourth in the present collection, were kind enough to suggest that it ought to be published under one cover with various scattered essays wherein aspects of the same subject had previously been examined. The essays in question were: "Pre-Animistic Religion," Folk-Lore, June 1900, pp. 162-182; "From Spell to Prayer," Folk-Lore, June 1904, pp. 132-165; "Is Taboo a Negative Magic?" Anthropological Essays, presented to Edward Burnett Tylor in honour of his 75th birthday, October 2, 1907, pp. 219-234; and A Sociological View of Comparative Religion, Sociological Review, January 1908, pp. 48-60. By the kind leave of the Editor of Folk-Lore, the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, and the Editor of the Sociological Review, it has been possible to proceed to the realization of this idea, conceived as I have shown amid the fervent courtesies of a festive occasion.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of early religious beliefs and practices, venturing beyond established theories to explore the very foundations of human spirituality. Challenging the prevailing notion of animism, which attributes religious significance solely to the belief in spirits and souls, the author proposes a broader perspective. At the heart of this exploration lies the concept of "supernaturalism"ââ âa fundamental human response to the awe-inspiring and inexplicable aspects of the world. The author argues that this innate sense of wonder and mystery predates and underlies animistic beliefs, shaping early humankind's understanding of the sacred and the divine. Through compelling examples drawn from diverse cultures, the book sheds light on how this "pre-animistic" sensibility manifests in various forms, from the veneration of natural phenomena like thunderstorms and eclipses to the attribution of power to objects like stones and animal remains. The analysis reveals the complex interplay of emotions, ideas, and actions that constitute early religious experience, highlighting the limitations of purely intellectual explanations. By offering a fresh perspective on the origins and nature of religion, this book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of humanity's spiritual journey, recognizing the profound influence of our innate capacity for awe and wonder in shaping our beliefs and practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
