What is the study of the influence of different philosophical traditions on literature?

  1. Hermeneutics

  2. Aesthetics

  3. Existentialism

  4. Anthropomorphism

The correct answer is: Hermeneutics

Hermeneutics is the correct answer because it is the study and interpretation of texts, including literary works, in the context of different philosophical traditions. Aesthetics, while it does involve the study of beauty and art, does not directly address the influence of philosophical traditions on literature. Existentialism is a philosophical movement and does not directly relate to the study of literature and its influence. Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities and does not pertain to the study of literature and philosophy.
