The study or science of anthropomorphism; the philosophical examination of how and why humans attribute human characteristics to non-human things.
From anthropomorpho- + -logy (study of). The -logy suffix, from Greek logos (study, reason), creates a noun meaning the systematic study of a subject.
Anthropomorphology bridges psychology, philosophy, and linguistics—it asks a profound question: Why are humans seemingly incapable of experiencing the world except through human categories?
