  Book Description
  Publication Date: September 14, 2010
  What does the study of Plato’s dialogues
tell us about the modern meaning of ‘sex’? How can recent developments in the philosophy of sex and gender
help us read these ancient texts anew?
  Plato and Sex addresses these questions for
the first time. Each chapter demonstrates how the modern reception of Plato’s works Ð in both mainstream and
feminist philosophy and psychoanalytical theory Ð has presupposed a ‘natural-biological’ conception of
what sex might mean. Through a critical comparison between our current understanding of sex and Plato’s notion of
genos, Plato and Sex puts this presupposition into question. With its groundbreaking interpretations of the Republic,
the Symposium and the Timaeus, this book opens up a new approach to sex as a philosophical concept.
  Including
critical readings of the theories of sex and sexuation in Freud and Lacan, and relating such theories to Plato’s
writings, Plato and Sex both questions our assumptions about sex and explains how those assumptions have coloured our
understanding of Plato. What results is not only an original reading of some of the most prominent aspects of
Plato’s philosophy, but a new attempt to think through the meaning of sex today.
  
 
Reviews
  "A groundbreaking work in feminist philosophy."New Formations
  
  "A serious contribution to scholarship in the field of
ancient philosophy as well as a serious contribution to feminist philosophy."Radical
Philosophy
  
  "Plato and Sex is a groundbreaking treatment of the role of sex in Plato's
dialogues. An extended commentary on and source of support for recent attempts to denaturalize our concepts of sex and
gender, the book is a major contribution to feminist approaches to Plato, to gender/sexuality studies of Plato, and to
gender/sexuality studies as a whole."Deborah Achtenberg, University of Nevada
  
  "This is an original new contribution to the debate on the limits of the concepts of sex and gender.
Sandford questions traditional and feminist interpretations of Plato with equal power and insight, and opens a new
possibility for conceptualizing human existence. This is not a request for a return to Ancient forms of thinking but a
critical argument which works for the present."Sara Heinämaa, University of
Helsinki
  
  "Sandford offers the intriguing idea that, in interpreting Plato, the categories of
man and woman, male and female, are not to be construed as natural-biological ones, but as moral categories, thus
explaining the evolution (or rather, devolution) of women, as inferior souls, from men, as superior souls. The study
should prove a welcome addition to the intersection of various disciplines, including feminist theory, philosophy and
classics."Julie Ward, Loyola University Chicago
