"The Phenomenology of Sex, Love, and Intimacy is a phenomenological, philosophical analysis rooted in Husserlian thought about various forms of love. Dr. Ferrarello discusses in exquisite detail the layers of intentionality, the ego and intersubjective experience including related themes of desire, corporeality, choice, empathy, consent and intimacy, providing a new view into what can easily be claimed to be among the most important experiences humans have. This is an exceptional text for philosophy students as well as scholars of sexuality and relationships."Nicolle Zapien, Dean of the Professional School of Psychology and Health and Faculty in the Department of Human Sexuality at California Institute of Integral Studies."Interesting, helpful, and of use to a variety of groups from philosophy scholars to clinical professionals who are familiar in advance with the phenomenological language. What seems to me the most significant feature of the text is that it critically provokes the readers to find their place in questioning and reshaping responsibly the social sphere in which they live with respect to the issue of human sexuality."Khashayar Boroomandjazi, Philosophy PhD, Metapsychology Online Reviews, (Volume 23, Issue 30)
