"If there's a prize for two books by a humanist intellectual that contain the most false generalizations, the most blithe offenses against what we mean by conceptual words--dub it the 'Mad Booker'--it goes to STRAW DOGS...and BLACK MASS, both recently published in the United States by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, perhaps as a kind of Dada stunt."

Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781862075962) Gray, John Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: GRANTA BOOKS, United Kingdom, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 200 x 130 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A radical work of philosophy, which sets out to challenge our most cherished assumptions about what it means to be human. From Plato to Christianity, from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche and Marx, the Western tradition has been based on arrogant and erroneous beliefs about human beings and their place in the world. Philosophies such as liberalism and Marxism think of humankind as a species whose destiny is to transcend natural limits and conquer the Earth. Even in the present day, despite Darwin's discoveries, nearly all schools of thought take as their starting point the belief that humans are radically different from other animals. John Gray argues that this humanist belief in human difference is an illusion and explores how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned.
