|
A passionate and consoling study of sexual love by one of Britain's
finest philosophers. "A dazzling treatise, as erudite and eloquent
as Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex" and considerably more
sound in its conclusion." - "TLS". "He is an eloquent and practised
writer" - "The Independent". When John desires Mary or Mary desires
John, what does either of them want? What is meant by innocence,
passion, love and arousal, desire, perversion and shame? These are
just a few of the questions Roger Scruton addresses in this
thought-provoking intellectual adventure. Beginning from purely
philosophical premises, and ranging over human life, art and
institutions, he surveys the entire field of sexuality. Equally
dissatisfied with puritanism and permissiveness, he argues for a
radical break with recent theories. Upholding traditional morality
- though in terms that may shock many of its practitioners - his
argument gravitates to that which is candid, serene and consoling
in the experience of sexual love.
