Animism• Not necessarily anything to do with
animals; rather refers to a life force, spirit within various objects e.g.: the land, a tree etc.; think animation – animism.
• Not an organized religion but rather the human attempt to make sense of the universe… possibly a primordial connection with the “spirit world.”
![Page 16: AIM: to what extent do Belief Systems have an impact on the world? Or alternatively: is it possible to die because of looking at too many maps?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e355503460f94b24475/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Location: Most animists live in Sub-Saharan Africa but also in very rural South America and Asia. Used to be wide spread throughout the world.
• Tenets: Varies but in Southern Africa:• Single God / supreme being. • Belief in “Spirit World”: spirits coexist with
the living and can be contacted. Some spirits evil, some good, some powerful etc.
• Ancestral veneration: deep respect for one’s ancestors; may pray to them for help etc.
• Thus use of a shaman / witchdoctor etc.

Legalism
• Legalists believed that humans were basically evil and selfish. The best form of government, that is, the government that best contributed to the welfare of the people, would be one that strictly held humankind's base instincts in check. This government would be ruled by strict and harsh laws; punishment would be severe and swift. This belief in rule by law is why this school is called "Legalist."
•Generally considered to be an offshoot of Confucianism.
