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. This volume challenges some of our
most prevalent assumptions relating to identity, the body,
monogamy, libido, sexual identity, seduction, fidelity, orgasm, and
more. In twelve original and philosophically thought-provoking
essays, the authors reflect on the broader meanings of love and
sex: 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. 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 meaning-making: to the seductive and alluring, confusing and
frustrating, realms of love and sex.
