Anthropomorphism

Japanese: 擬人主義 - ぎじんしゅぎ
Anthropomorphism
The attitude of assuming that non-humans have mental activity similar to that of humans. Historically, there was the anthropomorphism theory, which regarded gods as beings similar to humans, but nowadays it is often used critically against the attitude and academic methods that see human-like mental activity in animals.

Japanese:
人間でないものに人間と同様な心的活動があると想定する態度。歴史的には神を人間と同様の存在とみなす神人同型説があったが,現在ではもっぱら動物に人間的な心の動きを認める態度や学問的方法に対して批判的に用いられることが多い。
