Overview

In this expanded edition, Singer supplements the edition with a timely and stimulating essay that focuses upon marriage, particularly same-sex marriage. Singer maintains that questions about sex are fundamental in all thinking about the marital condition, and addresses the problem of same-sex legitimization and rights to material benefits by analyzing the nature of marriage, union, and family in their relation to sexuality and love. For first-time and seasoned readers alike, Singers lucid new reflections will clarify current and emerging issues in the philosophy of sex.

Irving Singer offers us his mature reflections on the nature and evaluation of human sexuality in this important new study--a welcome addition to his earlier pathbreaking writings on the philosophy of love. He is, as always, illuminating, insightful, and persuasive. I recommend it without reservation to all who are interested in broad philosophical questions of love and sex. -- Robert M. Stewart
