Blind Date: Sex and Philosophy

Socrates and Diogenes had little to say about sex, and although it was notoriously explored by the Marquis de Sade, this study explains why philosophy has never been fully sexualized nor sex really philosophized. Blind Date highlights the marked deletion of sexual topics and themes from philosophical works, while also opening doors for their union. Dufourmantelle (Of Hospitality) argues that sex is everywhere and affects all manner of thinking.

Experiments in Ethics (Mary Flexner Lecture Series of Bryn Mawr College)
by Kwame Anthony Appiah
Harvard University Press

$22.95

“This dazzlingly written book argues for reconnecting moral philosophy with the sciences, both natural and social—and demonstrates that the reconnection, while in a sense overdue, reconnects philosophy with its ancient interest in empirical issues. Appiah’s important argument promises to transform more than one field. It is not only wise and subtle; it is also inspiring.” —Cass Sunstein, University of Chicago

In the Beginning Was the Deed: Realism and Moralism in Political Argument
by Bernard Williams
Princeton University Press

$17.95

“Williams saw the moral dimensions of politics more deeply and more clearly than any thinker of his generation. His seminal essay “The Idea of Equality,” included here, exemplifies this gift. It exploded the conventional wisdom that equality of opportunity is a less demanding political ideal than is substantive equality. This opened the way for John Rawls and his successors to try to establish what genuine equality of opportunity in a just society could mean. In this, as in so many of the subjects treated in this sparkling and captivating volume, the long shadow of his influence will be with us for many years to come.” —Ian Shapiro, Yale University

With its combination of brevity and power, this Ronell ‘primer’ will be immensely useful to scholars, students, and teachers throughout the humanities, but particularly to graduate and undergraduate courses in contemporary theory.” —Jeffrey T. Nealon (Alterity Politics: Ethics and Performative Subjectivity)

The Verge of Philosophy
by John Sallis
University Of Chicago Press

$25.00
20% off: $20.00

“Written in rigorous and precise prose, [Verge] draws on Sallis’s immense erudition without letting that erudition burden the text. His meditations on philosophy are also put into thoughtful dialogue with his friendship with Derrida, particularly around their respective readings of Plato. Though we have come to expect work like this from Sallis, this text on the limits and origins of philosophy reads like a new beginning.” —Michael Naas, DePaul University
