Rezensionen

"[This] is an exceptional book for any instructor who is looking for a rare, 'opinionated' introductory text in the philosophy of sex and love that is not an anthology.

What is particularly valuable about this book is that it doesn't merely talk about thinkers who do philosophy, but shows firsthand (and importantly, in a fairly accessible way that most conventional textbooks may not) how to do philosophy. If that is the level of engagement an instructor seeks, I can think of no better textual guide to the philosophy of sex and love than this book."
Dale Murray (University of Wisconsin-Platteville) in Teaching Philosophy

"Patricia Marino's Philosophy of Love and Sex: An Opinionated Introduction is a wonderful addition to the growing literature - and indeed growing number of textbooks - in this area of philosophy, which is still only a few decades old."
Robert Scott Stewart, Ph.D., Metapsychology Online Review
