{"product_id":"angels-of-desire-jay-johnston-9781845533076","title":"Angels of Desire: Esoteric Bodies, Aesthetics and Ethics","description":"The idea that the human body consists of 'subtle bodies' - psycho-spiritual essences - can be found in a variety of esoteric traditions. This radical form of selfhood challenges the dualisms at the heart of Western discourse: mind\/body, divine\/human, matter\/spirit, reason\/emotion, I\/other. 'Angels of Desire' explores the aesthetics and ethics of subtle bodies. What emerges is an understanding of embodiment not exclusively tied to materiality. The book examines the use of subtle bodies across a range of traditions, yogic, tantric, theosophical, hermetic and sufi. 'Angels of Desire' shows the relevance of the subtle body for religion, philosophy, art history and contemporary feminist religious studies and theories of desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845533070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845533076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Jay Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088881594623,"sku":"9781845533076","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a6fd478-b6d2-4c74-b479-d4a025c08c67.jpg?v=1769107062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/angels-of-desire-jay-johnston-9781845533076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
