Title: Reason and sexuality in western thought
First published: 2005
Description: "This book traces the genealogy of ideas of reason, self and sexuality in the West, opening the way to a richer and more diverse understanding of sexual experience. A richer understanding of sexual experience is traced to a dissident philosophical tradition. In their different ways, Montaigne, Spinoza, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Marcuse and Foucault contribute to a more holistic, multi-layered and open conception of reason, sexuality and the self. This book will be essential reading for all students of philosophy and gender studies."--Jacket.
