description Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to advance some considerations on the question of animism from a phenomenological perspective. We firstly deal with the problems of the access to the phenomenon, and of its interpretation on the part of contemporary anthropology. Both problems are connected with the gap which seems to hold between socalled primitive, animistic societies, and so-called civilized, scientific cultures. Since Husserl does not devote specific analyses on this issue, we secondly address Dorion Cairns’ methodology and concrete investigations. Our major claim is that his reflections, largely inspired by Husserl’s notion of sense-transfer (Sinnesübertragung), may provide a better understanding of the gap and perhaps a way to overcome it by disclosing a genetic common root not only to animistic and modern mentalities, but also to pantheism and theism. A final section is devoted to Husserl’s scattered considerations on the subject which might throw additional light on Cairns’ claims.
