Unforbidden Pleasures de Adam Phillips

Unforbidden Pleasures

Autor Adam Phillips
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2016
So much has been written about forbidden pleasures. What about pleasures that are unforbidden?
Society is fascinated by taboo - we spend our lives chasing illicit pleasures - but nobody pays much attention to all the unforbidden pleasures freely available to us every day. Could we be gaining just as much reward from these unnoticed, unforbidden indulgences as from the much-glorified forbidden - or even more?
Starting with Oscar Wilde, Adam Phillips elegantly unfolds all the meanings and significances of the Unforbidden, from Genesis to Freud and his 20th century colleagues. Unforbidden Pleasures explores the philosophical, psychological and social complexities that govern human desire and shape our reality.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

We frequently talk about forbidden pleasures.
But why do we rarely discuss pleasures we take for granted?
We worry over the things we deny ourselves while paying little attention to our real enjoyment of available pleasures. But in neglecting what we have in favour of what we don't, asks Adam Phillips, are we not denying ourselves the very joys within our grasp?
Elegantly exploring the meaning and significance of the Unforbidden, from Genesis to Oscar Wilde to Freud and his fellow writers, Unforbidden Pleasures examines the philosophical, psychological and social dilemmas that govern our desire and shape us.
'A profound meditation on our reluctance to enjoy ourselves... A supremely thought-provoking book' New Statesman
'Our greatest writer on psychology' Andrew Solomon, Guardian
'Carefully argued. There is a lot of philosophy and psychoanalysis packed into these 200 pages' Independent
'Inventive and often beautiful' Irish Times
