John N. Gray (born April 17, 1948) is a prominent British political philosopher and author, currently School Professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics.
- Joris of Conspiracy Records [1] [2] lent me Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals (2002). ISBN 1862075123.
- From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche, the Western tradition has been based on the belief that humans are radically different from other animals. Straw Dogs is an exhilarating, sometimes disturbing book that explores how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned. Taking inspiration from art, poetry, the frontiers of science, and philosophy itself, John Gray argues that the belief in human difference is an illusion and offers instead a posthumanist view of the world.
Not be confused with
