  • Develops a convincing argument that western philosophy and religion have distorted - and continue to distort - our experience of sex and love.
  • Examines the thinking and works of key philosophers like Montaigne, Spinoza, Hegel, Kierkegaard and Foucault amongst others.
  • Keeps the undergraduate student in mind, and explains complex theories and thinkers in a clear and accessible way.
