@adewebb @philosophy @Dogs thank you so much! She looks like an incredibly wise, and very good, dog. Definitely got a philosophical idea or two going on…
@SamDodson @philosophy @Dogs Ordering that! Here’s my philosopher’s dog. She’s a Bergsonian Cockapoo…

Always love seeing my book, “Philosophers’ Dogs” out in the wild, especially in the run up to Christmas!

Here it is on the shelves of Waterstones. Dare I suggest it’s a perfect Christmas gift or stocking filler for someone you know?

Philosophers dogs: Puppy recommended

Dogs will love it!”

My book, Philosophers Dogs, comes fully puppy recommended. And, with Christmas approaching, it makes for an excellent stocking filler for the humans in your life, too.

If you can help a writer out and pick ip a copy (available from all good bookstores), that would be very, very brilliant.

Philosophers' Dogs: How history's greatest thinkers stole ideas from their four-legged friends - Samuel Dodson; Rosie Benson; | Foyles Bookstore

What does it mean to be a good dog? Are tennis balls always real? Is a bark ever truly worse than a bite? All these questions and more are answered in Philosophers' Dogs, the groundbreaking treat-ise that has been dog years in the making. The book reveals a long-kept secret: that every human philosopher has stolen their best ideas from their canine companions, shamelessly disguising the dogs' original thoughts as their own. Featuring beautiful illustrations alongside meticulously researched historical fact,* Philosophers' Dogs follows the trials, tribulations and tail-wagging of the pooches owned by famous philosophers and essayists. It is a vital addition to the bookshelves of philosophy students and dog lovers alike, packed with insights hitherto (wrongly) attributed to everyone from Confucius to Simone de Beauvoir via Socrates, Karl Marx and Mary Wollstonecraft. *Not necessarily historical or factual.

How does this sit on the old hierarchy of needs?
