Running with the Pack

About this book

Most of the serious thinking I have done over the past twenty years has been done while running says philosophy professor Rowlands who has run for most of his life. And for him running and philosophizing are inextricably connected. In Running with the Pack he reveals the most significant runs of his lifefrom the entire day he spent running as a boy in Wales to the runs along French beaches and up Irish mountains with his beloved wolf Brenin and through Florida swamps with his dog Nina. Intertwined with this honest passionate and witty memoir are the fascinating meditations that those runs triggered from mortality midlife and the meaning of life. A highly original and moving book that will make the philosophically inclined want to run and those who love running become intoxicated by the beauty of philosophy.
