Because of the tiny size of ancient Greek cities, contemporary theory and ideology could conceive of entire communities based on desire. A recurrent aspiration was to transform the polity into one great household that would bind the citizens together through ties of mutual affection. In this study, Paul Ludwig evaluates sexuality, love and civic friendship as sources of political attachment and as bonds of political association. Studying the ancient view of eros recovers a way of looking at political phenomena that provides a bridge, missing in modern thought, between the private and public spheres, between erotic love and civic commitment. Ludwig's study thus has important implications for the theoretical foundations of community. 517 3 $aEros & Polis 606 $aPolitical science$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aHomosexuality$xPolitical aspects$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aSex$xPolitical aspects$zGreece$xHistory 606 $aEros (Greek deity) 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 615 0$aHomosexuality$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aSex$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aEros (Greek deity) 676 $a320/.01 700 $aLudwig$b Paul W$g(Paul Walter),$f1963-$01050549 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450539603321 996 $aEros and polis$92480419 997 $aUNINA
