C.D. Reeve - American philosopher, translator of Plato and Aristotle. In addition to ancient philosophy, Reeve is engaged in the philosophy of sex and love, which this book is dedicated to. Reeve explores a wide range of topics and issues - sexual violence, sadomasochism, perversion, pornography - showing how our ideas about love are born at their intersection. Reeve accompanies his analysis not only with references to the research of sexologists and queer theorists, but also with unexpected illustrations from such classics as Turgenev's Fathers and Children or Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being. Separately, Riva is interested in the irreversible evolution towards an increasing gender fluidity and plasticity of our sexual experience." Chaos of Love" is a collection of ten essays in which the author combines a deep knowledge of ancient texts. (Homer's Iliad, Platonic's Feast, and so on) with Freudian psychoanalysis, Lacan concepts, Anthony Giddens's sociology of intimate life, making us think about how we define our physicality and think about our past and future partners.
