Anthropomorphism and Cosmism is a book written by John Fiske that explores the relationship between human beings and the universe. Fiske argues that anthropomorphism, or the tendency to attribute human characteristics to non-human entities, is a natural human inclination that has been present throughout history. He also discusses cosmism, which is the belief that the universe is alive and conscious, and that human beings are a part of a larger cosmic order.The book delves into various philosophical and scientific concepts, such as the nature of consciousness, the theory of evolution, and the concept of God. Fiske argues that anthropomorphism and cosmism are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary ways of understanding the universe.Throughout the book, Fiske draws on a range of sources, from ancient mythology to modern science, to support his arguments. He also engages with the work of other philosophers and thinkers, such as Immanuel Kant and Charles Darwin.Overall, Anthropomorphism and Cosmism offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between human beings and the universe, and the ways in which we understand and relate to the world around us.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy V1, by John Fiske.
