This is a hilarious book about Scotland and Dancing. “I DANCE, THEREFORE I AM” challenges René Descartes’ idea “I think, therefore I am.” Dr Poulton champions the philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment: it is PASSION and not reason that determines human action. His passion is dancing with beautiful women. He urges his grandchildren to dance, to laugh and love people, and to promote a philosophy of life that delivers “the greatest happiness of the greatest number.” This book written for grand children (his and everyone’s grand kids) is filled with wit and humor, Limericks and poems, interspersing dances with personal and family stories, jokes and home-spun lessons from life – enlivened with beautiful word pictures of Scotland, of kilts and of haggis.
