									<!-- Body text -->
									<p>Following the emergence of novel theories of tectonics, mid-19th-century architectural discourses were informed by a resurgence of interest in animism. These animist descriptions were a veritable amalgam of earlier philosophical theories of the soul from Aristotle to the early modern medical philosopher Georg-Ernest Stahl and ethnographic accounts of the religious beliefs of non-Western cultures granting agency in natural or manmade objects, including trees, buildings, implements, and bodily adornments. The epistemological impact of animism was implicitly catholic, expanding from imaginative theories of tectonics, such as the study of ancient Greek “tree worship” by the preeminent theorist of tectonics Karl Boetticher to the emerging discipline of architectural history, including the first monographic descriptions of non-Western monuments, such as the study or “tree and serpent worship” retraced on the facades of two Indian monuments by “world” architectural historian James Fergusson.
