About This Item

In good condition - has markings from use - has yellowing to pages - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.

In this volume are set side by side the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana and the Phaedrus of Plato, two of the earliest classical texts from East and West on the subject of love, which have powerfully influenced the course of thought on the place of sex in the two civilisations.

They are introduced by Kenneth Walker, who has unique qualifications for discussing these works against their background and their cultures and what they represent in terms of different viewpoints in the approach to sexual experience and knowledge. Mr. Walker has combined his profession of surgeon - he is Emeritus Surgeon, Royal Northern Hospital and was a Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons - with a life long study of Eastern thought and religion. His active concern with social problems is reflected in the subjects of his books, which, apart from technical publications include The Diagnosis of Man, Meaning and Purpose and A Study of Gurdjieff's Teaching. With his preliminary survey of the doctrines of Plato and the religious Hinda Vatsyayana the reader is enabled to make a profound comparison of vital similarities and contrasts in some of the most fundamental issues that affect human behaviour.
