Anima mundi

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anima mundi or world soul is a religious and natural philosophic concept. It means unified inner nature of the world, thought of as God or Supreme Being. This Being has ambitions, views and feelings.[1] World soul means that the Universe also has a soul. It means also that Universe soul and human soul can be united to create a common world soul.

As early as the lifetime of Plato, people have known about this idea; Plato believed and followed (or adhered)[2] to this idea.
