Focusing on concepts of spirituality, Heretics looks at themes such as the contrast between good and evil, sacredness, and the relationship between eroticism, sex, and death in the production of forty contemporary artists, including Marina Abramovic, Nobuyoshi Araki, Vanessa Beecroft, Robert Mapplethorpe, Paul McCarthy, and Joel-Peter Witkin. This richly illustrated anthology includes critical essays by prominent philosophers, anthropologists, and art historians such as Gore Vidal, Faye Waddleton, Jean Baudrillard, Arthur C. Danto, Vito Mancuso, Michel Maffesoli, Pierre Riches, Julien Ries, Arturo Schwarz, and others.
