Description

The Contradictions of Love: Towards a feminist-realist ontology of sociosexuality presents a comprehensive theoretical examination of how sexual love perpetuates male dominance over women in modern western societies. Published by Routledge as part of the Ontological Explorations series on Critical Realism, this scholarly work develops and defends Anna G. Jonasdottir's influential thesis regarding men's exploitation of women's emotional and sexual labour. The book applies critical realism and dialectical methodology to analyse power imbalances within intimate relationships, whilst simultaneously critiquing gaps in contemporary feminist scholarship. Through rigorous philosophical argumentation, the author investigates the metareality of sociosexual dynamics and provides new conceptual frameworks for understanding how love functions as a site of gendered inequality. Essential reading for scholars, researchers and students engaged with feminist theory, critical realism, ontology and the sociology of sexuality.
