John Gray

Briti populaarse filosoofi John Gray (snd 1948) provokatiivne "Olekoerad" seab kahtluse alla viisi, kuidas lääne kultuuriruumis on mõistetud inimloomust. Ta toob välja, et lääne mõttetraditsioon on alates Platonist kuni Nietzsche ja Marxini, kristlikest teoloogidest valgustusajastu mõtlejateni lähtunud ekslikust ja üleolevast eeldusest, nagu oleks inimliigi saatuseks ületada looduslikud piirid ja vallutada Maa. Autori kriitika on sihitud liberaalse humanismi vastu, mille keskmes olevat usku progressi nimetab ta ohtlikuks illusiooniks. Kirglikku ja vastuokslikku vastukaja leidnud "Olekoertes" esitab Gray küsimuse, milline oleks maailm ja arusaamine inimesest siis, kui me hülgaksime usu igavesse progressi.John Nicholas Gray on inglise poliitfilosoof ja Londoni Majandus- ja Politoloogiakooli Euroopa mõtteloo teaduskonna emeriitprofessor. Ta on avaldanud mitmeid mõjukaid raamatuid, sh eesti keeleski ilmunud "Valekoidik" (Postimehe Kirjastus, 2021).

"Valekoidik" tõestab, et globaalne kapitalism liigub krahhi suunas. Katsed luua maailmas angloameerika stiilis vabaturgu tekitavad katastroofi, mis on ulatuse poolest võrreldav Nõukogude kommunismi hävinguga. Moraalne ja sotsiaalne lagunemine ähvardab isegi väidetavalt uue maailmatsivilisatsiooni lipulaevaks peetavat Ameerikat, kes peab taganema teiste kultuuride ees, kus pole kunagi unustatud, et turg toimib kõige paremini ikkagi siis, kui see on ühiskonna osa. See vabaturuutoopia vastane raamat on tunnustatud õpetlase ja esseisti Nassim Nicholas Talebi sõnul prohvetlik.John Nicholas Gray on inglise poliitfilosoof ja kirjamees, Londoni Majandus- ja Politoloogiakooli Euroopa mõtteloo teaduskonna emeriitprofessor.

'Why can't a human be more like a cat? That is the question threaded through this vivid patchwork of philosophy, fiction, history and memoir ... a wonderful mixture of flippancy and profundity, astringency and tenderness, wit and lament' Jane O'Grady, Daily Telegraph'When I play with my cat, how do I know she is not passing time with me rather than I with her?' MontaigneThere is no real evidence that humans ever 'domesticated' cats. Rather, it seems that at some point cats saw the potential value to themselves of humans. John Gray's wonderful new book is an attempt to get to grips with the philosophical and moral issues around the uniquely strange relationship between ourselves and these remarkable animals.Feline Philosophy draws on centuries of philosophy, from Montaigne to Schopenhauer, to explore the complex and intimate links that have defined how we react to and behave with this most unlikely 'pet'.At the heart of the book is a sense of gratitude towards cats as perhaps the species that more than any other - in the essential loneliness of our position in the world - gives us a sense of our own animal nature.

The author of Straw Dogs, famous for his provocative critiques of scientific hubris and the delusions of progress and humanism, turns his attention to cats--and what they reveal about humans' torturous relationship to the world and to themselves. The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats--the animal that has most captured our imagination--than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness, showing how they embody answers to the big questions of love and attachment, mortality, morality, and the Self: Montaigne's house cat, whose un-examined life may have been the one worth living; Meo, the Vietnam War survivor with an unshakable capacity for "fearless joy"; and Colette's Saha, the feline heroine of her subversive short story "The Cat", a parable about the pitfalls of human jealousy. Exploring the nature of cats, and what we can learn from it, Gray offers a profound, thought-provoking meditation on the follies of human exceptionalism and our fundamentally vulnerable and lonely condition. He charts a path toward a life without illusions and delusions, revealing how we can endure both crisis and transformation, and adapt to a changed scene, as cats have always done.
