Philosophy of Cats Philosophers' Cats

Even if you think that "philosophers do not deal with sensible things because philosophy is not about practice and is disconnected from reality," you should never say this to a philosopher. Because they can easily prove the opposite based on an unexpected daily life experience.

Philosopher Federica Sgarbi, who has already lost the power in her home to her two cats, goes to an animal shelter in the city she lives in, despite the words she heard from a friend, and resorts to the mediation of philosophy to find a home for the cats there. Of course, her most important helpers in this regard are Immanuel Kant and Bertrand Russell. There will be many philosophers."

Philosophers, just like writers, could not do without cats. Their relationship with the cats they live with; They dealt with issues beyond animal love, care and adoption, and in a sense, created the "Philosophy of Cats". "Philosophers' Cats" is also special, as Harold Weiss points out with his words, "A cat never sleeps on an ordinary book." Many examples of this dual relationship are shared in the book.

Sgarbi, who tries to find homes for cats that have "been hit by fate, have matured their personalities, and have established personalities" rather than cute, naughty kittens that attract attention as soon as they appear, creates the philosophy of cats based on his experiences with these companion animals, in the style he developed. Who wouldn't want philosophy that starts with an intrusive touch?" A book that will be read with more pleasure with a cat on your lap...
