Engaging, humorous, educational, understandable, and just plain fun to read. Philosophy presented in a very approachable way. Kant, Hume, Locke, Aristotle, Descartes, Nietzsche, Lakotas, syllogisms, relativism, paradigm shifts, Copernican vs Ptolemaic systems, a dog named Monty, and more. Enjoyed McGowan‘s conversational style.

Cute and poignant, sometimes funny. The author takes walks with his aging dog, Monty, and talks Monty through the major philosophers and their beliefs before explaining his own.

If you only love dogs, you might get bogged down right around Kant. If you love philosophy and dogs, this is recommended reading. #arc #netgalley Full review at https://www.librarything.com/work/23863630/reviews/176685212

Cute book. The author imagines giving lectures on philosophy to his dog Monty, with Monty‘s responses in italics. #philosophy #dogs #arc #netgalley
