Limits of Sexual Freedom and the Notion of Perversion: Is Sexual Ethics “Applied”?
Limits of Sexual Freedom and the Notion of Perversion: Is Sexual Ethics “Applied”?

Summary/Abstract: This article has two main points: 1) there are no reasons why sexual ethics should be excluded from fashionable “applied ethics” and “bioethics” investigations, and 2) that the key concepts of “sexual discourse” – especially the concept of “perversion” – deserves full philosophical attention. As an example, the author offers a brief analysis of the reasons why, despite the ruling “libertarian paradigm”, the concept of “perversion” should be kept in ordinary language.
