Bag om Torture and Truth (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1991, this book ΓÇö through the examination of ancient Greek literary, philosophical and legal texts ΓÇö analyses how the Athenian torture of slaves emerged from and reinforced the concept of truth as something hidden in the human body. It discusses the tradition of understanding truth as something that is generally concealed and the ideas of ΓÇÿsecret spaceΓÇÖ in both the female body and the Greek temple. This philosophy and practice is related to Greek views of the ΓÇÿOtherΓÇÖ (women and outsiders) and considers the role of torture in distinguishing slave and free in ancient Athens. A wide range of perspectives ΓÇö from Plato to Sartre ΓÇö are employed to examine the subject.
