The practice or philosophy of removing human characteristics or perspective when describing non-human things or beings.
Formed from 'de-' + 'anthropomorphism', combining Greek 'anthropos' (human) and 'morphe' (form/shape) with the philosophical suffix '-ism'.
This word battles against humanity's deepest habit—we've been giving animals, gods, and objects human qualities since we first told stories, so deanthropomorphism is actually pretty radical in how it asks us to stop.
