A symposium on Pornography. A Philosophical Introduction (OUP, 2019) by Mari Mikkola| Valencia (Spain), September 27-28, 2019

Debates over pornography tend to be heated and deeply polarized—as with other topics that have to do with sex, pornography cuts to the core of our values and convictions. Philosophical debates concerning pornography are fraught with difficult questions: What is pornography? What does pornography do (if anything at all)? Is the consumption of pornography a harmless private matter, or does pornography violate women’s civil rights? What, if anything, should legally be done about pornography? Can there be a genuinely feminist pro-pornography stance? This book offers an opinionated introduction to and an analysis of philosophical treatments of pornography.
