The Official Batwolf Website

Human Nature

The Batwolf is not a philosopher.

Thomas Nagel’s groundbreaking article, “What it is like to be a bat” is not one he has read. Nevertheless, the Batwolf is peculiarly aware of his animal nature, which in no way challenges his humanity. On the contrary, his full acceptance that, as an organism, he is primarily animal is the very secure foundation of his humanity. To give a simple example, the foundation of the Batwolf’s relationship with his mates is an inter-animal connection; inter-human disagreements do not affect the inter-animal connection so, in human terms, the Batwolf is seen as tolerant and forgiving.
