| Resumen: | In the late 1980s, the waning years of the Cold War, 1 read The Open Society and Its Enemies. Read Book IV and you will be taught that sex is just coital friction, a purely physical phenomenon in which no reasonable person (having become convinced of the truth of materialism) invests emotional attachments. Read Book IIT and you will learn that the soul is material, and it dies with the body, making death nothing to fear. Whereas Lucretius articulates a therapy that promises a tranquil soul untroubled by hopes and undisturbed by ideals, Hobbes theorizes the conditions for a tranquil body politic. |
