Sartwell presents an extreme and provocative philosophy of life. He
explores what happens if we love this world precisely as it is,
with all of its pain, with all of its evil, with all of its bizarre
and arbitrary and monstrous thereness. In a highly personal and
brutally direct style, Sartwell explores the themes of
transgressive sexuality, political anarchism, addiction, death, and
embodiment. The author engages contemporary and historical debates
in cultural criticism, metaphysics, ethics, and political
philosophy, and expresses deep suspicions about them. He asserts
that scientific philosophical conceptualization is a movement
toward death, a rejection of reality. Moral and political values -
the ethical rejection of the particular precisely from within the
particular - are, Sartwell claims, an assault on human
authenticity. Thus, transgression - which is described as the
affirmation of embodiment through obscenity - is something we
radically require.
