Sex And Character (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162935065)

Sex and Character is a philosophical treatise written by Austrian philosopher Otto Weininger. In this book, Weininger explores the relationship between sex and gender, arguing that each individual possesses both masculine and feminine qualities, and that these qualities are not determined by biological sex. He also delves into the nature of human sexuality, arguing that sexual desire is not solely determined by physical attraction, but rather by a complex interplay of psychological and spiritual factors. Weininger further argues that the differences between men and women are not merely physical, but also extend to their moral and intellectual characteristics. He posits that men are inherently rational and objective, while women are emotional and subjective. He also explores the concept of genius, arguing that it is a rare and elusive quality that is not limited to any particular gender or race.While the book was initially controversial for its views on gender and sexuality, it has since become a seminal work in the field of philosophy and gender studies. It continues to be studied and debated by scholars and intellectuals around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
