The book draws on high profile case studies that emerged out of the #MeToo movement, specifically Harvey Weinstein, Louis CK, Jian Ghomeshi, Avital Ronell, and Aziz Ansari, to make a case for, one, a transformation to the ways in which we think about sexual consent, and two, for the need to challenge (and replace) the overwhelmingly carceral forms of justice that have dominated feminist thought for decades.

In addition to engaging in some historical, legal, and philosophical context settings, I examine media coverage, do some discourse analysis, draw on feminist new materialism, and put forth alternatives in the form of a new definition of sexual relationality and a call for more restorative justice approaches. Ones that are resonant in other social movements (like Black Lives Matter – which many in the #MeToo movement also support).

We publish across a wide range of philosophical disciplines with a strong focus on Continental philosophy. Our philosophy books are provocative and adventurous and reflect our interest in the most recent work within contemporary European thought.

Our books include introductory guides, dictionaries, research monographs and edited collections, reference works, scholarly Critical Editions and translations.

We have a range of new series to showcase our contemporary portfolio – Speculative Realism, Incitements, New Perspectives in Ontology, New Materialisms and Technicities. We are proud to publish on Scottish philosophy through the ages and on the history of philosophy more broadly. In 2017, we launched The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Complete Works of Alfred North Whitehead.

I’d love to hear what you think of our books and do get in touch if you have a project you’d like to discuss.

While many company leaders may not see it, their Black employees are living in existential fear. The January 6 attack on the Capitol, the ongoing police shootings of Black people, the senseless pepper-spraying and handcuff of a Black Army officer (Caron Nazario) at a gas station, and even some of the reactions to the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin who murdered George Floyd, showed us that the voices of racism and white supremacy are louder than ever.
