The central aim of this paper is to argue that sex is an important area of study for philosophers, and that the present vitality of the philosophy of sex stems largely from the contributions of feminist thinkers. "Sex" refers to three distinct areas: gender sex, erotic sex, and sexual politics. In all these areas, prejudice and habit create difficulties in discussing sex; underlying those prejudices are some traditional models of the person in which sexuality threatens the real self. Feminist philosophy of sexuality involves critiques of those models, and of various forms of gender with them. ; Le but principal de cet exposé est de faire valoir l'importance pour les philosophes, des problèmes de la philosophie de la sexualité, et particulièrement de la pensée féministe en ce domaine. "Sexualité" désigne trois domaines distincts: la division des sexes, l'érotisme, et les aspects politiques. Dans les trois domaines, les préjugés rendent difficiles la pensée aussi bien que le discours. Derrière ces préjugés, il y a des conceptions traditionnelles de la personne qui opposent la sexualité et le moi authentique. La philosophie féministe de la sexualité fait la critique de tels modèles, ainsi que de plusieurs formes d'essentialisme qui s'y rattachent.
