Description
Feline Philosophy explores the nature of cats and what we can learn from them. The author, John Gray, argues that cats may hold the key to a life without illusions and delusions, revealing how we can endure crisis and transformation.
Gray draws on the lives of various cats, from Montaigne's house cat to a Vietnam War survivor, to illustrate the ways in which cats embody answers to the big questions of love and attachment, mortality, morality, and the Self.
This thought-provoking meditation on the follies of human exceptionalism offers a profound and insightful look at the human condition, and how we can learn from the natural world to live more authentically.
