Description
Raja Halwani (ed.), Sex and Ethics. Essays on Sexuality, Virtue, and the Good Life (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), xiv + 276 pp. Sex and Ethics is the first published volume devoted exclusively to a virtue ethical approach to evaluating human sexual life. Only three of the seventeen essays (those by Roger Scruton, N.J.H. Dent, and Peter Geach) have previously been published. The impetus for bringing together the two fields of philosophy of sex and virtue ethics is that doing so may shed some new light on the debates about sex that have been dominated by both liberal and feminist ethical perspectives; it may transform the way virtue ethics has been done; and it may help determine whether there are vices and virtues specific to the sexual domain as well as which vices and virtues not specific to that domain are relevant to a normative analysis of sex.
