Trenchant and wide-ranging work of contemporary philosophy that challenges some of the deepest-held beliefs in Western culture.

Author events to promote.

'Straw Dogs' is a radical work of philosophy that challenges our most cherished assumptions about what it means to be human. John Gray explores how the world and human life look once humanism has been finally abandoned.
