I liked this book , I also loved the idea of making a good and accurate definition of sex , love and marriage

[Christian Giliberto · Rating 4 out of 5]

Strong survey of the subject. More in-depth than Soble's philosophy of sex and love, but probably less suitable than Soble's book for an undergraduate course. Halwani has a virtue-ethical perspective rather than Soble's consequentialist one, but is fair to all three leading approaches to ethics, and furthermore highlights the points of convergence between them (such as towards sexual liberalism).

الكتاب جيد في طرح وجهات نظر متعددة في هذه المواضيع المهمة. ورغم اختلافي مع المؤلف في كثير من آراءه.
نفتقد في مكتبتنا العربية لكتب من هذا النوع تحلل وتناقش الجنس والزواج بتجرد عن التراث.

أين الفلسفة في الموضوع ؟!

ممكن تغير عنوان الكتاب ل "نظريات في الحب و الجنس و الزواج"ف
فقط لا غير ،

الكتاب تطغى عليه النزعة الماديه البحته و الحيادية الصلبه التي تصيبك بالاشمئزاز

[Tynan Brooks]

I grow interminably bored reading this style of philosophy, but it did at least spur me to think.
