Description
The relationship between intelligence and sex has long been a topic of debate in American psychology. In "Gentlemen's Disagreement", Peter Hegarty explores this intersection by examining the historical debates surrounding intelligence testing and human sexuality. Through a nuanced discussion of two influential figures, Alfred Kinsey and Lewis Terman, Hegarty reveals how their work was intertwined with issues of sex and intellect. The book sheds new light on the origins of Terman's criticisms of Kinsey's research, highlighting the complex relationships between psychology, sexology, and intelligence testing in early American thought. By drawing on the ideas of Michel Foucault, Hegarty provides a fresh perspective on the historical context of these debates, demonstrating how intelligence and sexuality have remained intertwined in American psychology to this day.
