The Philosophy of Pornography

Contemporary Perspectives
Herausgeber: Coleman, Lindsay; Held, Jacob M.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Even as it skirts mainstream contemporary culture, pornography remains a social taboo; there still exist strong biases both in favor and against it. With chapters addressing imagination, gender, power relationships, truth claims, aesthetics, and both pro and anti-porn slants, this book presents a balanced view of pornography in modern society.
