The philosophy of desire

Without desire, there is no life worth living. So how does our brain lead us toward desire? And how do advertisements and social networks today encourage us to desire more? And can we really direct our desires in a way that brings us happiness? The famous philosopher and sociologist Friedrich Le Nouar takes us on an enjoyable journey inside the world of desire, from Plato to René Girard, passing through Buddha, Aristotle, Freud, and Nietzsche... and reviews what psychological, philosophical, and religious currents say about this mighty force that moves our bodies, hearts, and minds, for better or for worse. Helps us avoid the trap of consumerism. Author: Friedrich Le Nouar Number of pages: 224
