v1.c13.s2.56

³ Helm (*Altgerm. Rel.* i. 13, 14) adopts the term as denoting the recognition of natural forces as alive and ensouled as opposed to manism, which derives worship of these forces from the worship of the dead, naturalism indicating the view that the appearances in nature are identic with the powers man recognizes. Reville (*Hist. des Rel.* ii. 237) distinguishes naturism and animism; cf. Lang, *Making of Religion*, pp. 291 f. See above, p. 42, n. 3.
