Gaita's most personal work to date marries philosophy with story-telling, a love for animals with a love for fellow humans. Gaita draws on the work of writers and philosophers to offer us a new way of thinking about our fellow creatures.

The Philosopher's Dog Zusammenfassung

The Philosopher's Dog Raimond Gaita

In this lyrical and beautifully written book, Raimond Gaita tells inspirational, poignant, sometimes funny but never sentimental stories of the dogs, cats and cockatoos that lived and died within his own family. The Philosopher's Dog is above all a book about our creatureliness and its place in the understanding of our humanity.

'Fascinating ... A thoughtful meditation on the relationship between humans and animals that crosses the boundary between the the philosophical and the personal and blends very well the anecdotal with the theoretical.' - The Sunday Tribune
