Description for Eros in a Narcissistic Culture
Hardback. In its study of the philosophical and psychological meaning of erotic love, this work shows how a misunderstanding of eros out of a theory of physiological drive-reduction has led to an egocentric view of human nature, motivating a hedonism and an atomistic-individualist conception of society.

Dimension: 297 x 210 x 17. Weight in Grams: 597.
