Blind Date: Sex and Philosophy

Description : Bringing sex and philosophy together on a blind date, Anne Dufourmantelle&#8217sprovocative study uses this analogy to uncover and examine philosophy&#8217sblind spot. Delightful and startling comparisons spring from the date: both sex and philosophy

are dangerous, both are socially subversive, and both are obsessions. Although sex and philosophy have much in common, however, they have scarcely known one another until now.Socrates and Diogenes had little to say about sex, and although it was notoriously explored by the Marquis de Sade, this study explains why philosophy has never been fully sexualized nor sex really philosophized. u Blind Date /u highlights the marked deletion of sexual topics and themes from philosophical works, while also opening doors for their union. Inviting readers to remember that thought does not require repressed desire, Dufourmantelle argues that sex is everywhere, and it affects all kinds of thinking.
