"our conception of humankind is too anthropomorphic"

"our conception of humankind is too anthropomorphic, too narrowly defined--as physical, mental, or moral--as moral, either damned or saved, but not as the overwhelming power we are as creature, as species", "collective[ly], collaborative[ly]."

     Marilynne Robinson, Reading Genesis (New York:  Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2024), 79-80.
