简介:  When Mark Rowlands was 27 and a young professor of philosophy, he bought a wolf cub. It was the beginning of a relationship that would come to define Rowland's own life, and shape his thinking. Beginning with Brenin's exuberant, destructive puppyhood, and ending with his death 11 years later, The Philosopher and the Wolf is the remarkable account of a friendship that transcended the species barrier, and a fascinating examination of joy, strength, and the essential nature of the human animal. 人是猿的近亲。我们懂得所有猿的诡计、欺骗、和残忍,文明仿佛不过是这些本性之后的副产品。而狼始终关注于当下:忠诚于时间的瞬间。历史这东西也只有猿类才如此关注,因为我们只感觉到时间的流逝。
