Descripción
Sumario:""Daemon in the Sanctuary"" explores the uncanny contradiction between the home as a site of nurture and security and the reality that people are far more likely to be hurt and even killed in their own homes by their intimates, rather than at the hands of strangers. Moving from the syrupy tributes to love in Plato's ""Symposium"" to the subject of domestic violence, the author shows that poets and philosophers lead us to crave an earth-shaking experience; but the flutter of the pulse, the flush, the confused emotions, are also the signs of fear!
