This volume brings together studies in queer theory across three domains: analytical philosophy, biology, and cultural studies. The philosophical section develops an ontological framework to distinguish classical sexual orientations (homosexuality, bisexuality, heterosexuality) from non-classical ones, and advances an inductive argument for the likely fundamentality of asexuality. It further redefines these orientations through a biological-dispositional approach, moving beyond purely experiential accounts to include latent and asymmetrical cases, and interprets them as cluster natural kinds. A virtue-ethical reconstruction grounded in evolutionary biology explores their normative implications as stable and functional life strategies.The biology section proposes the functional flexibility hypothesis of bisexuality and introduces a model of neurobiological mosaicity to explain nonbinary gender identities. The cultural studies section examines the Epherid as a transhistorical figure, tracing its development from ancient representations such as Ganymede and Antinous to contemporary cultural forms.
