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.
