GNDR 300D - Philosophy of Love and Sex

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Gender Studies

Description:

Love and sexuality are two of the most crucial and complex aspects of our identities. Moreover, these concepts are often intertwined and sometimes pitted against one another. In this class, we will examine different approaches to this topic from a wide selection of philosophical traditions. Furthermore, we will supplement traditional philosophical readings with analyses of artifacts from popular culture, such as music, movies, and television. All of this will prepare us to ask and respond to various questions, such as "what is love, what is sex, and how are they related?" "In what ways do who and how we love make us who we are?" "How is sexuality a personally and politically important construct?" and "How can love change the world?"
