Edward Burnett Tylor and his study of animism

  • Lê Công Sự

Abstract

E.B. Tylor (1832-1917) is a self-study scholar. He devoted whole life to anthropology. Through field studies, he researched primitive culture, and animism in particular as a special phenomenon helping modern people to understand that culture. This article sketches Tylor’s biography and highlights his role in study of animism and its impact on the foundation of other rites, faiths, and religions of primitive people.
