Challenging traditional beliefs about humanity, this exciting and radical work of philosophy, Straw Dogs, explores the Western tradition's flawed assumptions about human nature. From liberalism to Marxism, John Gray dismantles these beliefs, arguing that the view of humankind as superior and separate from nature is dangerous. An exhilarating read that invites readers to question their deepest beliefs, Straw Dogs has been hailed as "brilliant" and "thought-provoking."
