Ontologies of Sex: Philosophy in Sexual Politics considers the
ontological presuppositions of feminist theories of sexual
difference and brings them into conversation with phenomenological,
ontological accounts of erotic experience. Erotic relation is a
corporeal, intimate, and affective encounter with the other in
which the subjects have the possibility of being revealed to
themselves and to each other in who they are. In eroticism, law
paradoxes, death, abjection, subjectivity, sovereignty, commitment,
engagement, freedom are at stake. By inquiring into various types
of analyzes of sexual oppression and different accounts of ethics
of Eros, this book invites the reader to deepen their existential
reflection on the significance of Eros for human life in general,
and for political subjectivity in particular.
