Gentlemen's Disagreement: Alfred Kinsey, Lewis Terman, and the Sexual Politics of Smart Men

Peter Hegarty
4.9/5 (13579 ratings)
Description:What is the relationship between intelligence and sex? In recent decades, studies of the controversial histories of both intelligence testing and of human sexuality in the United States have been increasingly commonOCoand hotly debated. But rarely have the intersections of these histories been examined. In "GentlemenOCOs Disagreement," Peter Hegarty enters this historical debate by recalling the debate between Lewis TermanOCothe intellect who championed the testing of intelligenceOCo and pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, and shows how intelligence and sexuality have interacted in American psychology.Through a fluent discussion of intellectually gifted onanists, unhappily married men, queer geniuses, lonely frontiersmen, religious ascetics, and the two scholars themselves, Hegarty traces the origins of TermanOCOs complaints about KinseyOCOs work to show how the intelligence testing movement was much more concerned with sexuality than we might remember. And, drawing on Foucault, Hegarty reconciles these legendary figures by showing how intelligence and sexuality in early American psychology and sexology were intertwined then and remain so to this day.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
