Book Synopsis A Most Detestable Crime by : Keith Burgess-Jackson

Download or read book A Most Detestable Crime written by Keith Burgess-Jackson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original essays by leading philosophers probes the philosophical aspects of rape in all of its manifestations: act, crime, practice, and institution. Among the issues examined are the nature of rape; the wrongfulness and harmfulness of rape; the relation of rape to racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression; and the legitimacy of various rape-law doctrines. Each contributor advances a novel argument and seeks to disentangle the conceptual, evaluative, and empirical issues that arise in connection with the crime. This essential reference work is among the first philosophical anthologies devoted exclusively to the subject of rape--as complex and interesting intellectually as it is pervasive and disturbing socially.
