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 [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] discusses his book [[ThePhilosopherAndTheWolf|《哲学家与狼》 / The Philosopher and the Wolf]]. The episode follows Rowlands from buying the wolf [[Brenin|布列宁]] in the United States through Ireland, London, and [[Languedoc|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 [[AyshaAkhtar|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.
