<p> This learned, witty, and often profound book robustly defends a liberal theory of sexuality, as one of life's most absorbing goods, against its ancient and modern critics on the right and left; Soble leaves no bad argument unrefuted, no bigot unscathed; he restores one's faith in the role philosophy can play in advancing public reason in matters of sex.
