Book synopsis

Handbook to Lothar Käser's Textbook "Animism - A Cognitive Approach". If we want to understand the animistic cognitive system we must focus particularly on its concept of man. Access to it can only be achieved by proceeding systematically. A basic prerequisite for this is a knowledge of the language spoken by the people whose culture is shaped by such an animistic system of thought. Incidentally acquired knowledge is not enough to give the outsider, whether missionary, teacher, doctor or nurse, the necessary insights for operating effectively within a society governed by an animistic cognitive framework. Why a textbook and a handbook on the same subject? A textbook seeks to address foundational issues and to ask general questions. A handbook on the other hand is concerned to deal with qualitative and quantitative research. This book is the companion volume of Lothar Käser's textbook on Animism - A Cognitive Approach and provides the interested researcher a tool to guide one's own research into the cognitive aspects of a particular dimension of animism, namely, the concept of man. Robert Badenberg, trained at the Theological Seminary of the Liebenzell Mission. Graduate study at the Columbia International University (M.A.). Doctorate Degree from the University of South Africa (DTh). As author, missionary (he worked in Africa from 1989 to 2003), and mission ethnologist he commands much experience in this field.
