Description

Roger Scruton's exploration of human sexuality is a thought-provoking intellectual adventure that delves into the complexities of desire, love, and morality. Beginning from philosophical premises, he surveys the entire field of sexuality, questioning the nature of innocence, passion, and perversion.

Scruton argues for a radical break with recent theories, upholding traditional morality in terms that may challenge some readers' perspectives. His approach gravitates towards a candid, serene, and consoling experience of sexual love, one that is both candid and consoling.

This book offers a nuanced examination of the human experience, one that seeks to understand the intricacies of human life, art, and institutions through the lens of sexuality. With its erudite and eloquent prose, it invites readers to engage with complex ideas and consider their own perspectives on these fundamental questions.
