In this book, Mark Rowlands tells the true story of his twelve-year friendship with a wolf named Brenin. Through this relationship, Rowlands explores themes such as loyalty, companionship, and love, based on the ideas of philosophers such as Nietzsche and Albert Camus. It is a moving reflection on the human condition and what we can learn from animals.
Mark Rowlands is a Welsh writer and philosopher. He is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami, and the author of several books on the philosophy of mind, the moral status of non-human animals, and cultural criticism. He is known within academic philosophy for his work on the animal mind and is one of the principal architects of the view known as vehicle externalism, or the extended mind, the view that thoughts, memories, desires and beliefs can be stored outside the brain and the skull.
