The Right To Sex makes a case for how philosophical writing can contribute powerfully to public discourse on some of the most fundamental questions relating to embodied life – that is, to sex, gender, sexuality, racial justice, space, education, power, regulation and law. A book that belongs to feminist theory and moral philosophy, it reviews arguments about abortion, rape, harassment, pornography, racial justice and masculine grievance, showing us how to interrogate their premises.
Amia Srinivasan, a professor of social and political theory at the University of Oxford, gives the reader a sense of her classroom as she shows us how to let philosophical arguments clarify debates within popular culture, and how to read popular culture as a way of wrestling with moral dilemmas related to sex, feminism, equality, and freedom.
