Thomas Nagel, Sexual Perversion - Sexual Desire And Awareness Of The Other - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses the 20th century Analytic philosopher, Thomas Nagel's essay "Sexual Perversion", and focuses upon the portion of his article where Nagel begins setting out his conception of a full sexual relationship between two people. Sexual attraction and desire is, according to Nagel, directed ultimately towards individuals not just types who happen to have a particular characteristic. He will adopt some of Sartre's analysis of interpersonal relations between subjects, but reject Sartre's rather pessimistic conclusions about the impossibility of any genuinely fulfilling mutual relationship between two people.
