Krátky popis
If a dog could write a book of philosophy, what would it contain?If
you have spent part of your life with a dog, you may find certain
questions popping, unbidden, into your mind. Is my dog living a
fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? This,
however only scratches the surface of a canine philosophy. Drawing
on his life lived with dogs (two German shepherds, the amiable Hugo
and his dark twin Shadow, Brenin, a wolf hybrid, and Tess his wolf
dog daughter, and Nina, a German shepherd/malamute mix), on the
ideas of philosophers from Socrates to Hume and Sartre, and on the
cutting edge psychology of canine cognition, philosopher Mark
Rowlands explores the way dogs experience the world to bring us
closer to an understanding of ourselves.While dogs feel
unparalleled joy and focus in the moment, humans are burdened by
the disquietude of anxiety, doubt and even anguish. Happiness for
dogs can be achieved in the daily chase of a squirrel, for humans
it is much more elusive. Digging deep into their morality,
freedoms, consciousness, intelligence and love of life, Rowlands
discovers that dogs have a unique way of existing which amounts to
a different philosophical outlook altogether - if they could write
such a thing - and that they may have better answers to the meaning
of life than we do.
