	Amazon.fr : The Philosopher's Dog: Livres en anglais: Raimond Gaita (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Philosopher's Dog is a mixture of storytelling, mostly about Gaita's own, and his father's, relationship with their domestic pets, and philosophical reflections on the stories he tells.
		But more than this, Gaita's aim is to bring philosophy and story-telling together without turning the stories into long-winded philosophical examples and without compromising the philosophy for the sake of a good story.
		The stories are used as a way in to philosophical questions about what it means to be a creature, about animal and human "consciousness", God, dignity, youth, old age, the relationship between science, philosophy and storytelling and about what it means to live an authentic individual life.

		As with many continental bagpipes, the Gaita was threatened with decline during much of the 20th century, but in recent years its popularity has again soared and today many fine players and makers of the instrument are thriving.

	Ferro Gaita / Cape Verde - Cap Vert/ RootsWorld Recording Review
		Estevão "Iduino" Tavares' accordion (gaita) is often slightly askew of his band's furious beat, as if it cannot quite keep up with the frenzy it has incited, a breathtaking musical effect also prominent in the "ultramerengue" of Dominican accordionist Francisco Ulloa.
		Another similarity of funana with merengue is the use of a metal scraper, or ferro, as a base for percussion.
		Ferro Gaita mixes in snare and hand drums, electric bass, and even a conch shell to create a lively instrumental backing for Iduino's lead vocals and the band's Bahian-style chorus.

	Random House \| Books \| The Philosopher's Dog by Raimond Gaita
		The philosopher Raimond Gaita has always been fascinated by animals– their obvious intelligence and disturbing brutality, their uncanny responsiveness to our moods and needs, the deep feelings they elicit from us and seem to return.
		In contemplating questions like these, Gaita weaves together personal stories–inspiring, sometimes heartbreaking accounts about the animals he and his family members have sheltered–with the reflections and analysis of a professional philosopher.
		A graceful, engaging stylist, Gaita is perfectly lucid as he grapples with great thinkers through the ages–from Socrates to Wittgenstein, Descartes to Hannah Arendt.

		He draws the conclusion that science will not enhance what we intrinsically know about them, and how we relate to them should be motivated by love.
		Gaita questions the many dishonorable actions taken against animals, but holds firm to the idea that they do not possess the same moral personhood as humans.

		Where John Gray's Straw Dogs confronts us with the unappeasable spectre of pessimistic skepticism via our animal nature and stops there, Gaita's book takes this position as a mere starting point.
		After the first few pages you might think you are merely in for a bunch of sweet homely anecdotes about Gaita and his menagerie, but things soon get weighty, with a lovely take on Wittgenstein via an account of discussions with the author's daughter, plus several inspiring adventures in skepticism.
