Why Is Raja Halwani Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Raja Fouad Halwani is an American-Lebanese philosopher and professor of philosophy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is known for his works on philosophy of sex. Philosophy Being gay, he started with some ethical questions related to homosexuality and some sexual acts related to gay men - unrestrained, casual sex and open relationships. In fact, his first two publications, in the days when he was a graduate student, were: “Are One Night Stands Morally Problematic?” and “The Morality of Adultery.” Convinced by the work of Alan Soble that thinking about sex is one of the most important philosophical endeavors, he denies his guilt about publishing about sex and even brazenly uses the language of virtue to do so. Halwani, an American-Arab , is also very interested in sexual issues and the contemporary Middle East, often addressing them through a debate between essentialism and social constructivism. In addition, he publishes in the field of philosophy of art and political philosophy and is generally an ardent supporter of pop culture, simultaneously liking it and despising it.
