Philosophy and Sex

This classic sourcebook, which has for two decades helped thousands rethink their views of ethics and human sexuality, is all new and totally revised for the challenges of a new century.

Featuring essays on adultery, monogamy, perversion, homosexuality, pederasty, sex without love, sexual equality and more, Philosophy and Sex retains its uniqueness and accessibility without compromising quality and versatility. Though the book is completely reconceptualized, the editors have retained the best of the existing volume (essays by Shulamith Firestone, Judith Jarvis Thomson, and others) while offering many new selections, including Michel Foucault, postmodern feminists, recent work on same-sex marriage, nonconsensual sex (date rape), and much more.
