In this bold interdisciplinary work, the authos argues that asceticism has played a major role in shaping Western ideas of the body, writing, ethics, and aesthetics.
He suggests that we consider the ascetic as “the cultural element in cultura”, and presents a close analysis of works by thinkers as proof of the extent of asceticism’s resources.
