![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ideal for students both in philosophy and gender studies, this highly readable book takes us to the very heart of two of the most important dimensions of human experience and to the seductive and alluring, confusing and frustrating, realms of love and sex. In twelve original and philosophically thought-provoking essays, the authors reflect on the broader meanings of love and what their shifting historical meanings entail for us in the present how they are constrained by social conventions the ambiguous juxtaposition of agency and passivity that they reveal how they shape and are formed by political institutions the opportunities they present to resist the confines of gender and sexual orientation how cultural artefacts can become incorporated into the body and how love and sex both form and justify our ethical world views. This volume challenges some of our most prevalent assumptions relating to identity, the body, monogamy, libido, sexual identity, seduction, fidelity, orgasm, and more. The book covers common conflicts and confusions and includes work by established scholars and innovative new thinkers. Join philosophers Jack Russell Weinstein and Sarah LaChance Adams as they discuss a new philosophy of sex for a new age. Our amorous and erotic experiences do not simply bring us pleasure they shape our very identities, our ways of relating to ourselves, each other and our shared world. ![]()
