Cats and the Meaning of Life

Feline Philosophy

 

'When I play with my cat, how do I know she is not passing time with me rather than I with her?' Montaigne.  There is no real evidence that humans ever 'domesticated' cats. Rather, it seems that at some point cats saw the potential value to themselves of humans.

Beschrijving Feline Philosophy

Feline Philosophy draws on centuries of philosophy, from Montaigne to Schopenhauer, to explore the complex and intimate links that have defined how we react to and behave with this most unlikely 'pet'. At the heart of the book is a sense of gratitude towards cats as perhaps the species that more than any other - in the essential loneliness of our position in the world - gives us a sense of our own animal nature.

The Homeric Doloneia

The Doloneia is the most controversial book of the Iliad, its authenticity being doubted since antiquity. But by applying sophisticated interpretive tools, this book maintains that Iliad 10 was not composed by a single poet, that it is thematically consonant with the rest of the Iliad, and that it has evolved from an earlier Iliadic version.
