Description
The voice for this perspective comes through Graybeard, a chimpanzee, whose namesake was David Graybeard, one of Jane Goodall's first chimpanzee subjects. Upon their invitation, Graybeard shares his own ideas with Plato, Schopenhauer, Lao Tzu, Darwin, the Buddha, Einstein, and others, in a parallel universe setting.
In this book, Graybeard links the world of science (biology) and philosophy, in one fundamental way: Though an animal, he and humans (and all of life) are motivated by the same forces - the need to survive and the fear of not surviving. From this perspective, fundamental philosophical themes can be deduced.
This is the third book of Steens' philosophical trilogy. The first was Philosophical Travels with Carl: Freedom in the Oregon Outback, and the second was Babu: A Philosophical Quest. Both are published on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
