Anthropomorphism

philosophical work of fiction that explores the human condition, the environmental state of the planet, and how we as humans have the power to determine this environmental state into the future. The novel relies heavily on the rhetorical device of anthropomorphism to give voice to one of the main characters of the book, a gorilla named Ishmael, who speaks telepathically. Ishmael uses this ability to spread his teachings - regarding what he has learned of the human condition through observance,…

The use of anthropomorphism transforms the people/citizens of a fascist government into apes, effectively…

did comparative psychology have with regard to anthropomorphism? The study of comparative psychology was initiated by the theory of evolution because humans were no longer separated from other species of animals.

of pain and sorrow, are easy for man to relate to. Nevertheless, Cleanthes proceeds to argue that this is not the case, as he has not felt an abundant deal of anxious feelings. He then proceeds to describe God in human terms, what Philo calls anthropomorphism. Philo argues that this is impossible, as the God Christians believe in, is infinitely just and powerful.

The book of Exodus reveals God as a character capable of an array of dispositions, yet glory is the aspect illustrated with the most distinction and frequency. It is in Exodus that while God is stilled explained using anthropomorphism, the Israelites develop a less individual relationship with God but more of a respectful, fearful association.

says every invention we encounter has a designer behind it, and therefore the universe must have a designer, we might as well say that every designer is a human and therefore the designer of the universe must be human. With this principle of anthropomorphism that Hume shows, that the analogy Paley uses can be interpreted in other ways than he intended it to.
