Description

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 whole field of sexuality; equally dissatisfied with puritanism and permissiveness, he argues for a radical break with recent theories.* * *Mentioned in the Princeton Anscombe Society's Q&A session of Thomist Prof. [Ed Feser's talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rynlfggqAcU) (@58:48).
