Turning Freud's famous dictum around, Thomas Laqueur posits that destiny is anatomy. Sex, in other words, is an artifice and "Making Sex" tells the story of sex in the west from the ancients to the moderns. The reader cannot fail to recognize the players in Laqueur's story - the human sexual organs and pleasures, food, blood, semen, egg, sperm - but the reader will be amazed at the plots into which they have been woven by scientists, political activists, literary figures, and theorists of every discipline. The book looks at how our predecessors, including physicians and scientists, thought about anatomy and analyzes our ideas on gender.

"One-sex, one-flesh model" in anatomy, biology, and medicine traditions. Well researched, very informative, also interestingly problematic. Critical reading from historians: King, Helen. “The Mathematics of Sex: One to Two, or Two to One?” ;Park, Katharine. “The Rediscovery of the Clitoris.”
评分很快地重讀瞭一下,這纔真的注意到Laqueur幾乎沒有談到中世紀的狀況,似乎預設從Galen到文藝復興基本上是沒什麼變化的,難怪會引發中世紀學者的批評。可以搭配著看的書是Joan Cadden的The meanings of sex difference in the middle ages.
评分嗬……詞匯真豐富……
评分經典就是經典嘛。研究18世紀以前西方對於身體的“哲學”和18世紀以後西方對身體的“科學”,從不學術的角度看著挺奇幻小說的
