Re: Can't really help you there... kHz1000 Send a noteboard - 12/08/2013 08:54:05 AM

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.
View original postAnd then there's books that I haven't in fact read but intend to at some point, the first ones coming to mind are John Rawls' "A Theory of Justice", Beauvoir's Second Sex indeed, and of course Machiavelli's "The Prince". And Ibn Khaldun's "Muqaddimah" - those last two aren't philosophy precisely, but definitely relate to power and authority.

Thanks for you suggestions.
