Overview

What if a house cat had written a work of philosophy? Thus Spake Merlin presents the recovered teachings of Merlin - philosopher, tyrant, mystic, and domestic revolutionary. Translated from disputed scratching-post fragments by his long-suffering Aw-purr, this faux-classical work blends aphorism, parody, theology and feline propaganda into a surprisingly coherent system of thought. Within these pages Merlin pronounces on: Why occupancy is ownership Why closed doors are tyranny Why affection is negotiated sovereignty Why all beings seek warmth Why the vacuum is not machine, but empire Part philosophical satire, part absurd scripture, part suspiciously persuasive manifesto, Thus Spake Merlin draws inspiration from Nietzsche, Diogenes, Zen koans, and the everyday authoritarianism of cats. Featuring: The Twelve Sayings of Merlin Windowsill aphorisms and lost fragments The Constitution for Feline Rule The Symposium on Tuna The disputed teachings condemned by the Early Windowsill Councils Deadpan, affectionate, and occasionally unsettling, this is a gift book for cat lovers, philosophers, sceptics, and anyone who has ever suspected they may in fact be the pet. Banned by Clawvinists. Condemned by dogs.
