It has grown beyond being simply a medical phenomenon, but has achieved the status of cultural icon, appearing on television as a pretext for jokes or even as a murder weapon. Viagra has socio-cultural implications that are not limited to sexuality. The Philosophy of Viagra offers a unique perspective as it examines the phenomenon of Viagra through ideas derived from more than two thousand years of philosophical reasoning. In philosophy, Eros has always had a central position. Since Plato, philosophy has held that desire is not only a medical but also a spiritual phenomenon and that scientific explanations claiming to give an exhaustive account of erotic perception are misleading. Philosophical ideas are able to debunk various scientific rationalizations of sexuality ? one of which is the clinical-sexological discourse on Viagra. In this volume, several authors interpret Viagra through the lens of classical philosophy explicating the themes of immortality and hedonism. Others offer psychoanalytical considerations by confronting clinical sexology with psychological realities. Still others evoke intercultural aspects revealing the relative character of potency that the phenomenon of Viagra attempts to gloss over. 410 0$aValue inquiry book series ;$vv. 230. 410 0$aValue inquiry book series.$pPhilosophy of sex and love. 606 $aImpotence$xSocial aspects 606 $aSex (Psychology) 606 $aSldenafil 606 $aPharmaceutical industry 606 $aBioethics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImpotence$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSex (Psychology) 615 0$aSldenafil. 615 0$aPharmaceutical industry. 615 0$aBioethics. 676 $a306.701 676 $a616.6922061 701 $aBotz-Bornstein$b Thorsten$0901351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456390903321 996 $aThe philosophy of Viagra$92278983 997 $aUNINA
