Description: In Nancy Bauer's view, most feminist philosophers are content to work within theoretical frameworks that are false to human beings' everyday experiences. Here she models a new way to write about pornography, women's self-objectification, hook-up culture, and other contemporary phenomena, and in doing so she raises basic questions about philosophy.
Brief description: Nancy Bauer is Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University and the author of How to Do Things with Pornography.
Review Quotes: This is not only a strong book on the topic of pornography and the objectification of women in society today, but a fundamental contribution to our understanding of what, in our time, philosophy can achieve--and it is a contribution I think we profoundly need.--Simon Glendinning, Professor of European Philosophy, London School of Economics and Political Science
