Lust The Seven Deadly Sins

Here, Simon Blackburn offers a sharp-edged probe into the heart of lust, blending together insight from some of the world's greatest thinkers on sex, human nature, and our common cultural foibles. Blackburn takes a wide ranging, historical approach, discussing the evolution of lust from classical to modern times. But most important, Blackburn reminds us that lust is also life-affirming, invigorating, fun. Written by one of the most eminent living philosophers, attractively illustrated and colorfully packaged, it is a treatise no one could help but desire. Book jacket.
