Yet, for roughly the past half century chastity has been increasingly portrayed as an unnecessary ideal with few secular benefits that could not be otherwise obtained. Instead, chastity is sometimes portrayed as an odd kind of religious asceticism with few secular benefits. The essays in this volume ask whether there may be advantages to reconsidering a contemporary virtue of chastity. A recovered and reconceptualized concept of chastity can offer partial solutions to problems associated with externalized sexual desire, including sweeping patterns of sexual harassment, the high divorce\/relationship-failure rate, and widespread pornography use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSexual Ethics in a Secular Age\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to researchers and advanced students interested in the philosophy of sex and love, virtue ethics, and philosophical accounts of secularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Silverman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367522675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367522674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Eric Silverman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136014921983,"sku":"9780367522674","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_758ba7e3-63fe-446c-824f-10a154e6c852.jpg?v=1770159944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexual-ethics-in-a-secular-eric-silverman-9780367522674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
