Abstract

: In this article I will analyze the relationship that Kant establishes between sex and objectification. I will explore two points. First, I will try to locate the place that the sexual drive occupies. I will show that, in Anthropology from a pragmatic point of view, sex is not related to love as affection or passion. Secondly, I will show that to have sex with someone is to use that person as a means, opposing readings that make Kant an advocate of the non-objectification of the sexual act. Finally, I show that the juridical relationship between two people, through marriage, makes the mutual use of sexual organs ethical, even if both are used as a means and not as an end in themselves.
