Anthropomorphism, also referred to as personification or prosopopeia, is the attribution of human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, forces of nature, and others.
Anthropomorphism is also important in many traditions of magic, where it is thought that entities can be affected by appealing to, bartering with or threatening their spirits.
Anthropomorphism is a well established device in literature, notably in books for children, such as those by Beatrix Potter and Lewis Carroll, involving characters such as Peter Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, respectively.

 Biblio: Skeptics and True Believers: The Exhilarating Connection Between Science and Religion by Raymo, Chet: Details   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Educated in the traditions of Christian theology and scientific methodology, Raymo tries to bring the two often disparate disciplines together.
It became obvious to me that certain doctrines of the Judeo-Christian tradition, including such central tenets of faith as immortality and a personal God who answers prayers, were based on long-discredited views of the world that placed humans in a central position and ascribed human attributes to other creatures and even to inanimate objects.
A noted science writer argues passionately and persuasively that science and religion are mutually reinforcing ways of experiencing the world--and that words such as God, grace, sacred, and spirituality can retain currency in an age of science, once they have been stripped of their archaic meanings.

This was Grade's first solo museum exhibition, its 39 predominantly abstract works ranging from small scale to larger than life and evoking environments that seem to dwell both in the imagination and the physical world.
Landscape and geography are clearly inspirational forces in his art, which seems to reference the lush forests and teeming marine life of the Pacific Northwest, Grade's home for the last decade.
The museum's indoor sculpture court and adjacent gallery were inhabited by organic, biomorphic and anthropomorphic abstractions with a strong architectonic component.

 Amazon.com: Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Chomsky himself, over the course of 167 pages, points out the damages of neo-liberalism (public abdicating power to corporations), not just to underdeveloped nations and their peoples, but to the American people themselves, who are suffering, today, from a fifteen year decline in education, health, and increased inequality between the richest and the poorest.
For myself, with considerable reading and a 25-year national security career behind me, I find that while Chomsky is repetitious, he is generally meticulous about foot-noting (something that cannot be said for the lazy authors residing in most think tanks, all of them being paid to think along very specifically prescribed directions).
Indeed the book is almost a logical fallacy itself, for it exemplifies the anthropomorphic fallacy that one may attribute personality - in this case a wicked and grasping avarice - to an abstraction, namely the `capitalist system'.

The central focus of these lessons is to foster research and creativity in our work; the tools and techniques of the arts are now more available than ever in mankind's history, which is in my opinion a wonderful thing, but the theory behind challenging design remains as elusive as ever if not moreso.
The result is that we seem to have a vast number of technically proficient artists in the professional and amateur markets who are capable of astounding works of style and technique, but unfortunately little of substance.
Science fiction film and television once had the excuse that the technology permitted little more than masks and animatronics, so aliens had to appear as little more than anthropomorphic animals or 'little green men'.
