Críticas
Corvino captures the aim of the series by providing an accessible yet rigorous book on an issue that remains contentious in popular culture. ... Corvinos book is an exemplar of public philosophy. It is an entertaining and rigorous read. (John Corvino, Social Theory and Practice)
Corvino (Wayne State) brings much-needed clarity to the debate on homosexuality and the tangential issue of same-sex marriage in this engaging, easy-to-follow book. (D. Hurst, CHOICE)
concise, thorough and chatty (John Corvino, The Times Literary Supplement)
an engrossing read ... [Corvino] tackles people's moral and religious objections to gayness, dismantling arguments with sensitivity, clarity and humour. (Out in the City)
What's Wrong With Homosexuality is as much a philosophical and moral discussion as it is a deeply personal account of being a gay man ... Corvino writes in very witty yet sincere and passionate manner. (Metapsychology)
Reseña del editor
For the last twenty years, John Corvino has traversed the US responding to moral and religious arguments against same-sex relationships. In this timely book, he shares that experience - addressing the standard objections to homosexuality and offering insight into the culture wars more generally.
Is homosexuality unnatural? Does the Bible condemn it? Are people born gay (and should it matter either way)? Corvino approaches such questions with precision, sensitivity, and good humor. In the process, he makes a fresh case for moral engagement, forcefully rejecting the idea that morality is a 'private matter'. This book appears at a time when same-sex marriage is being hotly debated across the U.S. Many people object to such marriage on the grounds that same-sex relationships are immoral, or at least, that they do not deserve the same social recognition as heterosexual relationships. Unfortunately, the traditional rhetoric of gay-rights advocates - which emphasizes privacy and tolerance - fails to meet this objection. Legally speaking, when it comes to marriage, 'tolerance' might be enough, Corvino concedes, but socially speaking, marriage requires more. Marriage is more than just a relationship between two individuals, recognized by the state. It is also a relationship between those individuals and a larger community. The fight for same-sex marriage, ultimately, is a fight for full inclusion in the moral fabric. What is needed is a positive case for moral approval - which is what Corvino unabashedly offers here.
Corvino blends a philosopher's precision with a light touch that is full of humanity and wit. This volume captures the voice of one of the most rational participants in a national debate noted for generating more heat than light.
