Rape: A philosophical Analysis of Feminist, Social-Scientific, and Darwinian Explanations (Verkrachting)

There are several perspectives on the aetiology of rape: the psychiatric perspective, the feminist perspective, social learning theory, the Darwinian perspective, and integrated theories. Communication between some of those perspective is characterised by hostility. It is the aim of this research project to analyse why this is the case, and to what extend an integration between those explanatory models is feasible.
