The field that is now called \"philosophy of religion\" could quite easily be renamed \"philosophy of theism\" with few lecturers on the subject having to change their lecture notes. It is the aim of this volume to rectify that failure and to present animism as a live option among the plethora of religious worldviews. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume addresses four major questions: 1. What is this thing called \"animism\"? 2. Are there any arguments for or against animist belief and practice? 3. What is the relationship between animism, naturalism, and the sciences? And 4. Should we take animism seriously?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnimism and Philosophy of Religion\u003c\/i\u003e is intended to be the first authoritative scholarly volume on the issue of animism and its place in the philosophy of religion. Ambitiously, it aims to act as the cornerstone volume for future work on the subject and as a key text for courses engaging with the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTiddy Smith is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Massey University.
