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
Philosophy of Sex and Love: An Opinionated Introduction Offers a
contemporary, problems-based approach to the subject, helping
readers better understand and address current issues and
controversial questions Includes coverage of sex and love as they

social and political dimensions of sex and love Includes a helpful
