Скачать или смотреть What is Anthropomorphism? A Philosophical Exploration

In our discussion today we’re going to be talking about philosophical aspects of anthropomorphism and pets. The inspiration for this video comes from a relative’s snarky comment made over the recent holidays about how we treated our dogs. He said, “Treating dogs like people. Why don’t you put that on your philosophy channel.” OK, challenge accepted.

We’ll take a look at some of the historical roots of anthropomorphism, the ethics of anthropomorphism, the effect of anthropomorphism, pro and con, on pet welfare and wildlife conservation and other related areas.

This one is a little more lighthearted, perhaps less serious, than some of my other recent videos, but animal welfare is something I care about a lot.
