Presents a comprehensive study of Plato's and Aristotle's conceptions of non-rational desire. This book shows this as something that humans share with animals, and which aims primarily at the pleasures of food, drink, and sex. It also explores the cognitive resources that both philosophers make available for the explanation of such desires.
