Eros Revisited

Love for the Indeterminate Other

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Isaac B. Rosler draws from the works of Plato, Butler, and Derrida to explore the unreadability of Eros's enigma and the desire to address its mystery through assertive and noncontradictory discourse, resulting in the modern objectification of Eros into defined sexual orientations.
