We could learn a lot from the good boys (and girls) in our life.
That’s the main thesis of philosopher Mark Rowlands new book, “The Word of Dog.”
He says out loud what many dog owners secretly wonder: Is my dog a better person than me? And while Rowlands certainly agrees that humans remain top of the intellectual pyramid, he does theorize that our canine companions inhabit the world in a uniquely uncomplicated way.
“Although dogs have no idea what philosophy is,” he writes, “they live the big questions.”
Join Rowlands and fellow dog lover Kerri Miller for this week’s Big Books and Bold Ideas to be enlightened and inspired by the dogs in your life.
Guest:
- Mark Rowlands is a professor of philosophy at the University. His new book is “The Word of Dog: What our Canine Companions Can Teach Us about Living a Good Life.”
