Rowlands was born inNewport, Wales and began his undergraduate degree in engineering at the University of Manchester before changing to philosophy. He took his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Oxford, and has heldvarious academic positions in philosophy in Britain, Ireland and the United States.[2]

His best known work is his memoir, The Philosopher and the Wolf, about the decade he spent living andtravelling with a wolf. As Jonathan Derbyshire wrote in his Guardian review, "it is perhaps best described as the autobiography of an idea, or rather a set of related ideas, about the relationship betweenhuman and non-human animals."[3] Julian Baggini wrote in the Financial Times that it was "a remarkable portrait of the bond that can exist between a human being and a beast."[4] Mark Vernon writing inThe Times Literary Supplement added that it "could become a philosophical cult classic."[5]
