Description
Among the many books on sexuality, Julius Evola’s approach takes the subject from an entirely different angle. He argues that biological, sociological and psychological theories of human sexuality are insufficient, maintaining that attraction between the sexes is not limited to the earthly imperative of reproduction. Erotic, non-reproductive love is an end in itself and is precisely what distinguishes human beings from animals. Despite accepted ideas to the contrary, sex transcends our physical nature and belongs to the spiritual sphere. Evola points out that the transcendent potential of sex has been systematically denied by both Western religion and materialism. To explore it, he maps and compares traditions from ancient and non-European cultures that regard sex as sacred and incorporate it into their rituals. He sees it as a means of breaking the individual’s inner bonds and attaining initiatory elevation. In our spiritually impoverished present, erotic love is a universally accessible path to self-transcendence.
