Abstract

Abstract: My objective with this text is to offer a comment on The Origins of Sex: A History of the First Sexual Revolution, by the British historian Faramerz Dabhoiwala. I intent to show that this work offers a similar and complementary interpretation to John Rawls' reading of the Protestant Reform as the determining historic event for the establishment of pluralism within democratic liberal societies.

Keywords: sexual revolution, pluralism, modernity, Dabhoiwala, Rawls.
