9781138208964: The Ethics of Vulnerability

Synopsis

Gilson provides a systematic account of the ethics of vulnerability, critiquing the reductively negative view taken against vulnerability, demonstrating how its persistence prevents vulnerability from possessing the normative value many theorists wish it to have, and articulating instead a richer, more nuanced theory. She then applies this account to the debates over pornography in feminism, thus showing its value for fraught ethical and political issues.
