How to Train Your Dog Through PHILOSOPHY and Lay Out the Main Ideas and Concepts of This Science

Popular British author Anthony McGowan explores the foundations of Western philosophy in a series of imaginary dialogues he carries out with his restless dog Monty. Readers who have never traveled down the paths of philosophy or those wishing to refresh their knowledge will greatly appreciate this enjoyable excursion with a friendly guide and his loyal companion. From Aristotle to Derrida, from Euclid to Voltaire, from Seneca to Leibniz, from Socrates to Kant — all key ideas of great thinkers will find a place in this engaging discussion! «The first three walks are related to the discussion of moral philosophy and ethics. In the following walks, we will talk about the concept of free will and logic. Then we will discuss metaphysics: those tangled questions about the nature of reality and existence. Next, our path will lead through epistemology, or the theory of knowledge. Four walks are devoted to discussing the philosophy of science. Finally, in the last chapter about the meaning of life, a brief overview of some proofs for the existence of God is provided. Although this extensive structure is thematic, within the discussion of each subject, we will consider what great philosophers have said on this issue. I hope this presentation will help the reader not only to understand the problem but also to form an idea of the history of the development of philosophical thought.» (Anthony McGowan)
