Mark Rowlands / 马克·罗兰兹
Mark Rowlands / 马克·罗兰兹 is the philosopher-author at the center of 39.哲学家与狼:在朗格多克永恒的夏天, where 蜜獾吃书 discusses his book 《哲学家与狼》 / The Philosopher and the Wolf. The episode follows Rowlands from buying the wolf 布列宁 in the United States through Ireland, London, and 朗格多克, using that life with a wolf to question human intelligence, civilization, evil, loyalty, pleasure, and death.
In the wiki, Rowlands connects the animal-welfare branch to a more philosophical memoir mode. Unlike Aysha Akhtar / 阿依莎·阿赫塔 in 56.伴生:世界破破烂烂,小动物缝缝补补, who grounds animal ethics in health and violence prevention, Rowlands is used here to ask what kind of animal a human being is and why human moral life is compromised by deception, contract, and future-oriented striving.
