View original postThe only book I've read that might sort of quality is Camille Paglia's "Sexual Personae", but that's more about art and Apollonian vs. Dyonisian archetypes. It's an interesting book, though, and Paglia is a born provocateur who couldn't be boring if she tried.
A good suggestion. I'm sort of familiar with the book but I never got around to reading it. Maybe I should. My knowledge of Paglia is limited to watching her interview on Politically Incorrect on Youtube.

And Ibn Khaldun's "Muqaddimah" - those last two aren't philosophy precisely, but definitely relate to power and authority.
Thanks for you suggestions.
Recommend me a good book with a philosophical theme?

Sartre is excellent in some ways but he is like Edward Gibbon in one way...
