| description | For a long time Milton’s Paradise Lost, as the original Biblical story, has
been a controversial testing ground for various theories regulating human
sexuality. The paper explores Milton’s rendering of Satan’s and Adam
and Eve’s immersion in the virtual realities of inverted, false consciousness
in the light of Augustine’s doctrine, dystopian societies (ancient and
modern), and political theory. Sexual enlightenments, whether in Paradise
or contemporary quasi-paradisal forms of entertainment, coincide
with the appearance of the solipsistic self and cybersexuality and they
tend to have serious political implications. What appear to be personal
liberating frenzies in public places actually turn out to be serious losses
of political freedom. |
