Anthropomorphic Theism

Anthropomorphic Theism, written by John Fiske, is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of anthropomorphism in religion. The book argues that humans have a tendency to project their own characteristics and emotions onto the divine, resulting in the creation of gods that resemble human beings in their appearance and behavior. Fiske examines the origins of this anthropomorphic tendency and its evolution throughout history, from ancient polytheistic religions to modern monotheistic faiths. He also critiques the limitations of anthropomorphic theism and proposes alternative ways of understanding the divine that do not rely on human projection. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between humans and the divine, and it challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the nature of religion.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy V4, by John Fiske.
