Its ability to powerfully touch on a range of social and emotional issues is philosophically inspiring, and here, a diverse range of thinkers and musicians offer illuminating essays that make important connections between the human condition and the Blues that will appeal to music lovers and philosophers alike.

Reviews for Blues - Philosophy for Everyone
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a collection of essays that takes a serious look at porn from several angles. It is generally sex-positive and pro-porn. I particularly liked the discussions about sex and emotion. We're generally taught, especially women, that to be 'good', our desire for sex has to be channeled into love, romance and 'meaningful relationships.' Women are taught that they are having something taken from them if they have sex for any other reason than love. I always found this view problematic and so does this book. To reduce sex solely to its reproductive function is to reduce humans to non-human animals. Humans have turned sex into art, sport and recreation. Porn fits into those categories in my opinion.
