Bøger af Raja Halwani

Featuring twenty-nine essays, thirteen of which are new to this edition, this best-selling volume examines the nature, morality, and social meanings of contemporary sexual phenomena. Topics include sexual desire, masturbation, sex on the Internet, homosexuality, transgender and transsexual issues, marriage, consent, exploitation, objectification, rape, pornography, promiscuity, and prostitution.

How is love different from lust or infatuation? Do love and marriage really go together 'like a horse and carriage'? Does sex have any necessary connection to either? And how important are love, sex, and marriage to a well-lived life? This book pursues the philosophical questions inherent in these three important aspects of human relationships.

Author Raja Halwani discusses how virtue ethics illuminates three central areas of our lives: care, love and sex. He concludes that virtue ethics allows for those sexual lifestyles that are deemed by traditional morality to be wrong, such as promiscuity, open relationships, and sex work.
