Summary

A collection of essays examining the relationship between nature and law, the 'personal' and the 'political'. Some focus on the grey area of what is 'natural'; others on areas thought to be natural rather than socially shaped. A variety of disciplines, particularly philosophy, political science and law, contribute to the debate.

Sex, Preference, and Family Summary

Sex, Preference, and Family: Essays on Law and Nature by David M. Estlund (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Brown University)

This is a paperback reprint of a book originally published in January 1997. It is a provocative collection of essays that examines the relationship between nature and law, the personal and the political. Some focus on the grey area where it is difficult to tell what, if anything, is natural. Others focus on areas of human life that have frequently been thought to be natural rather than socially shaped, such as sexuality and the family. Each essay brings to the current debate the insights of a variety of disciplines - above all, philosophy, political science, and law. It will appeal to anyone interested in sexuality, gender, feminism, and the family.

Sex, Preference, and Family Reviews

The issues the book raises ... have an international resonance and appeal ... In producing such a wide-ranging, detailed and meticulously referenced book the editors are to be congratulated on a number of counts. The general quality of the contributions, the rigour of the scholarship and the sustained attempt to embrace interdisciplinarity are to be welcomed ... the book represents a timely contribution to critical studies of law and the family in the way in which it challenges the normativity both of family law and of (hetero)sexuality itself. * Richard Collier, Res Publica 5, 1999 *
