Torture and Truth (Routledge Revivals) (Paperback)

First published in 1991, this book - through the examination of
ancient Greek literary, philosophical and legal texts - analyses
how the Athenian torture of slaves emerged from and reinforced the
concept of truth as something hidden in the human body. It
discusses the tradition of understanding truth as something that is
generally concealed and the ideas of 'secret space' in both the
female body and the Greek temple. This philosophy and practice is
related to Greek views of the 'Other' (women and outsiders) and
considers the role of torture in distinguishing slave and free in
ancient Athens. A wide range of perspectives - from Plato to Sartre
- are employed to examine the subject.
