Reflecting on these questions, and drawing on the ideas of Descartes, Wittgenstein and J.M. Coetzee, Gaita pleads that we ask ourselves what it means to be creatures of 'flesh and blood.' He discusses mortality and sexuality, the relations between storytelling, philosophy and science and the spiritual love of mountains.
An arresting and profound book, The Philosopher's Dog is a triumph of both storytelling and philosophy.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a substantial new introduction and afterword by the author.
