Rae Langton - Sex and Projection

We have a psychological tendency to project ourselves onto others. How does this tendency play out in the context of love - and sex? How does this tendency interact with sexism and patriarchal power structures? Is this a feminist issue? Does projection lead to sexual objectification?

Philosophical Conversations - Sarah-Jane Leslie, Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, conducts interviews with some of the world's leading philosophers through her association with the Marc Sanders Foundation. In this interview Professor Leslie meets with Rae Langton, Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, to discuss the human tendency to project ourselves onto others.
