The Philosopher's New Clothes: The Theaetetus, the Academy, and Philosophy’s Turn against Fashion
Pappas, Nickolas (The City University of New York, USA)
This book discusses modern philosophical treatments of fashion, and of "anti-fashion". Pappas argues that the fashion/anti-fashion debate applies to antiquity, that nudity at the gymnasia was an anti-fashion. Thus anti-fashion provides a way of viewing ancient philosophy’s orientation toward a social world in which philosophy also has to live.
