Anthropomorphosophy

Our tendency to anthropomorphise can sometimes lead people, scientists included, to arrive at false conclusions concerning animal behavior. However, there are those who claim it can also be used as a part of proper scientific practise. This so called critical anthropomorphism invites you to imagine what it is like to be another animal as best as possible. But is it even possible to really put yourself in an animals' shoes? And what are the pitfalls of this type of anthropomorphism? What are the risks of not utilising this type of anthropomorphism? This book will try to provide answers to these and other questions by analysing the debate surrounding anthropomorphism.
