Art in Nature / Anthropomorphism


In pursuing the idea, I came to see anthropomorphism as pervading human thought and action. It ranged from spontaneous perception in daily life, to art, to science; from voices in the wind, to Mickey Mouse, to the Earth as Gaia. It also seemed central to religious belief, so much so that explaining it would explain religion. ~ vii Preface
I claim we anthropomorphize because guessing that the world is humanlike is a good bet. It is a bet because the world is uncertain , ambiguous, and in need of interpretation. It is a good bet because the most valuable interpretation usually are those that disclose the presence of the whatever is mot important to us. That usually is other humans. ~ Page 3 (intro)
