The Philosophy of Sex: An Opinionated Introduction

Patricia Marino

4.9/5 (16031 ratings)

Description:Writing for non-specialists and students as well as for fellow philosophers, this book explores some basic issues surrounding sex and love in today's world, among them consent, objectification, non-monogamy, racial stereotyping, and the need to reconcile contemporary expectations about gender equality with our beliefs about how love works. Author Patricia Marino argues that we cannot fully understand these issues by focusing only on individual desires and choices. Instead, we need to examine the social contexts within which choices are made and acquire their meanings. That perspective, she argues, is especially needed today, when the values of individualism, self-expression, and self-interest permeate our lives. Marino asks how we can fit these values, which govern so many areas of contemporary life, with the generosity, caring, and selflessness we expect in love and sex.Key Features of The Philosophy of Sex and Love: An Opinionated IntroductionOffers a contemporary, problems-based approach to the subject, helping students and others better understand and address current issues and controversial questionsIncludes coverage of sex and love as they intersect with topics like disability, race, medicine, and economicsConsiders not only the ethical, but also the broadly social and political dimensions of sex and loveIncludes a helpful introduction and conclusion in each chapter and is written throughout in a clear and straightforward style, with examples and sign-posts to help guide the student and general readerA comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography provides a valuable tool for anyone's further researchWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
