Thomas Nagel, Sexual Perversion - Initial Clarifications Of The Concept - Sadler's Lectures

Thomas Nagel, Sexual Perversion - Initial Clarifications Of The Concept - Sadler's Lectures2. Okt.11 Min.

This lecture discusses the 20th century Analytic philosopher, Thomas Nagel's essay "Sexual Perversion", and focuses upon the initial clarifications Nagel thinks needs to be made about the concept of sexual perversion before going on to examine it in further detail. He makes three positive clarifications, which are what we calls general conditions the concept must meet. He also makes two negative clarifications as well, namely that the concept does not have any connection with sexual reproduction as such, and that social disapprobation or custom do not have any bearing on it.
