This book examines feminist philosophical analyses of sexual oppression of women by men, and brings them into conversation with phenomenological, ontological, and psychoanalytical accounts of erotic experience and sexual difference. Erotic relation with the other is about a corporeal, affective encounter in which people are revealed to themselves and to each other in who they are. In eroticism, law, prohibitions, paradoxes, death, abjection, subjectivity, sovereignty, commitment, engagement, freedom, and intimate, affective relations with other human beings are at stake. This book examines different accounts of erotic experience and invites the reader to deepen their existential reflection on the significance of Eros for human life.
