This book explores the broad and complex reality of the affective-sexual realm encompassed by the term desire, an essential expression that is innate in all human beings.
In The Myth of Desire: Sexuality, Love, and the Self, Carlos Domínguez-Morano draws on psychoanalysis to explore the broad and complex reality of the affective-sexual realm encompassed by the term desire, a concept that propels individual aspirations, pursuits, and life endeavors. In the first part of this book, Domínguez-Morano observes this concept from a global view by introducing a methodology, examining the present socio-cultural determinations affecting desire, reviewing the main stages in the evolution of desire, and reflecting on affective maturity. In the second part of this book, Domínguez-Morano explores the five basic expressions of desire: falling in love and being a couple, homosexuality, narcissism and self-esteem, friendship, and the derivative of desire by way of sublimation. Scholars of psychology, philosophy, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
