Cognition and Eros: A Critique of the Kantian Paradigm

By Robin May Schott

Book Overview

Cognition And Eros focuses our attention on two central themes emerging from the context of an examination of sexual relations in which philosophy has operated.Robin Schott's conclusions are to see the suppression of the erotic theme of human existence from philosophical contemplation to be an expression of philosophical response to morality; women have been viewed not only in terms of their life-giving sexuality, but also to embody the threat of death as well.
