The Sleep of Reason: Erotic Experience and Sexual Ethics in Ancient Greece and Rome
Martha C. Nussbaum
Sex is beyond reason, and yet we constantly reason about it. So, too, did the peoples of Ancient Greece and Rome. This work considers how erotic experience is understood in classical texts, and what ethical and philosophical arguments are made about sex?
