Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why do we scold a stubborn laptop, see faces in the clouds, or imagine that an autonomous car "wants" to merge? Our impulse to read human motives into the non-human-anthropomorphism-shapes everything from childhood stories to cutting-edge machine-learning labs. In this sweeping, multidisciplinary exploration, Sanjay Basu traces the phenomenon from its mythic origins to today's algorithmic frontier.Journey through history-from ancient deities critiqued by Xenophanes to Enlightenment skeptics like Hume and Feuerbach who unmasked projection at the heart of religion.Dive into cognitive and developmental psychology to discover why theory-of-mind shortcuts make us see agency everywhere-and how mirror-neuron systems wire that habit into our brains.Examine the neuroscience behind empathy, the ethics of attributing feelings to animals and robots, and the cultural power of talking mascots, marketing avatars, and cinematic AIs.Confront the wild card of artificial consciousness: can machines ever move from clever mimicry to genuine experience, or are we simply staring into a polished mirror?Blending philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, theology, and technology, Anthropomorphism offers an accessible yet rigorous guide for scientists, designers, storytellers, and anyone curious about the strange, wonderful human need to project ourselves onto everything around us. By understanding why we humanize the other, we gain new insight into what it means to be human-and how to build futures where empathy, not illusion, drives our relationships with animals, machines, and the wider world.
