Perversity Think Tank
An experimental philosophical work that attempts to formulate a rigorous conception of sexual perversion, positioned by its author as the black mirror of Plato's Symposium. Where Plato asked what love is, this book begins from an equally simple but darker question: what is perversity?
To answer it, the anonymous writer Supervert dissects a wealth of examples drawn from literature, art, personal experience, and real-world incidents collected on the blog PervScan, using them the way Freud used his case histories, as raw material for an entirely new theory rather than as a mere companion to the website.
The result is a taut, deeply considered analysis that resists the improvised tone of a blog in favor of sustained philosophical argument. As in the author's other works, the text makes full use of avant-garde techniques such as non-linearity, juxtaposition, and erasure, producing a hybrid of essay, provocation, and conceptual art.
Confrontational and intellectually demanding, it is intended for adult readers prepared to engage seriously with extreme and disturbing subject matter.
