Erotic Love in Sociology, Philosophy and Literature

I'm an academic sociologist. I have to teach Marx, Weber, and Durkheim year after year.

I read this book and, wow, laughed and shook my head in wonder—I'd never really thought about their sex lives, their sexuality, or what sex meant to them. I should have read this when it came out, but...it sat on the shelf.

Then, I was heading to the UK, participating in a conference on transgender issues, and I pulled this down to actually read it. I learned so much to think of erotic love as a "minimal communism," a "violation of the social order," and… show more.
