Moral Philosophy: Roger Scruton's Sexual Desire By Jason Cangialosi of Associated Content Moral Philosophy: Ethics from Socrates to Sex A Collection of Ethical Theories in a Nutshell as a Springboard to Moral Philosophy. This entry takes a brief look at Roger Scruton's ethical theories from his work Sexual Desire: A Moral Philosophy of the Erotic. Roger Scruton - "Sexual Desire" (1986) Scruton applies Aristotle's theories of ethics to the virtues of sex, or erotic love. Since there are sexual impulses and desires that should be hindered, the habit must be formed just as a parent trains their child to be virtuous. To partake in non-virtuous, wrongful sexual habits, one detaches the chance for erotic love from their body. To achieve sexual morality through virtue, the personal and the sexual must be united and for Scruton this is dependent on how one views and cares for their own body. This will enable one to receive true erotic love, based on a love of one's self, because it can be given as well.
