From the 1970s until recently, philosophers' discussions about sex and love have tended to dwell on certain metaphysical questions (e.g., whether we have reasons to love) or-in ethics-on questions about perversion and normalcy. In the last few years, however, philosophers have foregrounded political concerns and begun to focus on a wide range of emerging social issues. In this student-friendly introduction to the subject, Patricia Marino offers a contemporary approach to sex and love, highlighting the social, political, and economic problems at play in issues like same-sex marriage, sexual objectification, ethical non-monogamy, and many more relevant topics that will interest readers today. This is the first fully contemporary introduction to the philosophy of sex and love, and provides ample coverage of theories across the spectrum of philosophical ideas. It is written to be accessible and useful for undergraduates, and includes helpful overviews for each chapter.
