What happens if Eros intrudes into the master-slave dialectic?
Aiming to partially de-Hegelianize the master-slave dialectic and
showing its sinister perpetuation in the democratic socius- not as
a phase of a progressive dialectic, but as a frozen paradigm of
social (especially inter-male) interactions- this book poises Eros
at the threshold of ratiocination and imagination, arguing against
the exclusion of Eros from the domain of political economy and
imaginatively envisaging an erotic collectivity. Such a
collectivity would, the author argues, establish palpable erotic
reciprocity between its members, thereby doing away with the
unequal recognition that is the kernel of the master-slave
dialectic. Setting its critique of theoretical closures in praxis,
this book looks forward to an erotic future that can't be captured
in any philosophical systems. Intellectually stimulating and
occasionally deliberately provocative, this work would proffer its
readers a pure intellectual bliss- that of mulling over things de
novo from an "erotic" perspective. This book is the vehicle for the
readers' as well as the author's journey towards Aphrodite.
