  • Philosophy of Sex and Love Winter 2014 T Th 2:30-3:50, MC 4064
    University of Waterloo Department of Philosophy Philosophy 201 Philosophy of Sex and Love Winter 2014 T Th 2:30-3:50, MC 4064 Instructor: Patricia Marino Office: HH 332 Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00-2:00 and by appointment Email: [email protected] Course Description This course will consider various topics in the philosophy of sex and love, with a focus on contemporary issues and research. We will discuss questions having to do with lust, objectification, consent and rape, sex work, the nature of love and its relation to autonomy, the idea of orientations and identities, race, relationships and sexual preferences, and polyamory. The course takes a philosophical approach to these topics. We'll talk more about what this means in class, obviously, but broadly speaking the philosophical method is one that uses reason and logic to figure out what is true. Clarity and precision in thought and expression are essential. This course does not endorse any particular conclusion about any of the topics listed. Rather, the point is for you to understand what others have had to say, and to develop, possibly change, and learn how to intelligently defend, your own opinions. This course covers some sensitive and potentially disturbing material; if you have questions or concerns about this please talk to me. Course Requirements Requirements: Attendance at class meetings, participation in in-class discussions and projects, two papers, one optional rewrite, two in-class tests. There is no final exam. The first paper should be 900-1200 words and topics will be handed out. For the first paper, you have the option of handing in a rewrite based on my comments.

  • Consent Is Not Enough: a Case Against Liberal Sexual Ethics
    Consent Is Not Enough: A Case against Liberal Sexual Ethics David McPherson Introduction What’s needed for an adequate sexual ethic? Many college students today are expected to undergo sex-related consent training, and some might get the impression that consent is the only requirement. However, I think this would be a false impression. While consent is certainly necessary for an adequate sexual ethic (and it’s important to know what it involves), I’ll argue that it’s far from sufficient. The key claims that I’ll seek to advance are the following: (1) The consent-only model of sexual ethics affirms a “casual” view of sex and therefore it can’t make sense of and properly combat what’s worst in the sexual domain: namely, the grave evil of sexual violence. This, of course, is what college-sponsored consent training is concerned to combat, but by endorsing the consent-only sexual ethic it in fact contributes to the problem. (2) The consent-only model of sexual ethics fails properly to recognize the special significance of human sexuality and the nature of erotic love and its role in human sexual fulfillment and therefore it can’t make sense of and properly support what’s best in the sexual domain: namely, a committed erotic loving relationship. Most colleges give little to no effort to encourage and support such relationships, and indeed their initiatives in sexual matters are often counter-productive here. I think remedying these deficiencies requires recovering a version of the traditional sexual ethic. Unlike the consent-only model of sexual ethics, it’s not easy to summarize the traditional sexual ethic briefly, since it’s based on what it regards as tried-and-true wisdom built up over the ages in the light of human experience.

  • Sexual Desire and Structural Injustice
    Sexual Desire and Structural Injustice Tom O’Shea Forthcoming at the Journal of Social Philosophy Is it unjust that some people are less sexually desired than others? We might have sympathy for the sexually undesired but supposing they suffer an outright injustice can seem absurd. My view is that this reaction is too hasty, and that sexually desirability can be a matter of political justice. This is a strong claim, which is likely to invite a torrent of objections, whether for confusing misfortune with injustice, licensing unwarranted political meddling, indulging in sexual moralism, or asking the impossible of us. But I shall suggest a compelling social philosophy of sexual attraction can be articulated by considering the scope and character of sexual desires through the lens of structural injustice, while looking to collective and political rather than primarily individual and ethical remedies to the problem of unjust desire. Sexual desirability is not a resource which can or should be doled out to the needy; nor is there a duty to desire, or a right to be so desired. Yet, sexual attractiveness matters in many of our lives – potentially influencing not only our opportunities for sexual intimacy, but our self-respect, social standing, and access to romantic relationships. Going sexually undesired or under-desired can compound disadvantage in these respects. Mere disadvantage, however, is not sufficient for political injustice. Instead, I shall argue there can be grounds of justice for holding people responsible for transforming the socio-structural processes which shape the distribution and character of sexual desires when these processes underpin domination and deprivation.

  • 1 Philosophy of Sexuality Alan Soble Drexel University Updated: May 10
    Philosophy of Sexuality Alan Soble Drexel University Updated: May 10, 2009 www.iep.utm.edu/sexualit Among the many topics explored by the philosophy of sexuality are procreation, contraception, celibacy, marriage, adultery, casual sex, flirting, prostitution, homosexuality, masturbation, seduction, rape, sexual harassment, sadomasochism, pornography, bestiality, and pedophilia. What do all these things have in common? All are related in various ways to the vast domain of human sexuality. That is, they are related, on the one hand, to the human desires and activities that involve the search for and attainment of sexual pleasure or satisfaction and, on the other hand, to the human desires and activities that involve the creation of new human beings. For it is a natural feature of human beings that certain sorts of behaviors and certain bodily organs are and can be employed either for pleasure or for reproduction, or for both. The philosophy of sexuality explores these topics both conceptually and normatively. Conceptual analysis is carried out in the philosophy of sexuality in order to clarify the fundamental notions of sexual desire and sexual activity. Conceptual analysis is also carried out in attempting to arrive at satisfactory definitions of adultery, prostitution, rape, pornography, and so forth. Conceptual analysis (for example: what are the distinctive features of a desire that make it sexual desire instead of something else? In what ways does seduction differ from nonviolent rape?) is often difficult and seemingly picky, but proves rewarding in unanticipated and surprising ways. Normative philosophy of sexuality inquires about the value of sexual activity and sexual pleasure and of the various forms they take.

Can sex be defined in a way that captures all experiences we call “sex”? How is sex connected to cheating? Is marriage ultimately a repressive social institution that should abolished?
