The metaphysics of sex

Where does the attraction between men and women? Should we be faithful? How are jealousy? Can we get to understand women? The questions that we always have assaulted in relation to sexuality try to be answered in the book of Julius Evola "Metaphysics sex," the editorial Olañeta.

If you're looking for an answer frivolous, did not find in these pages. Evola part in search of the meaning of eros Finally, the sexual experience and, through a search in history, is answering these questions, avoiding falling into the trivialization and superficiality. We could talk, for example, of modesty.

Montaigne said that "there are things that are hidden to show better." Is that why a woman feels ashamed to show their legs enfundadas rising in the silk skirt, while on other occasions publicly strolls with a bikini that barely covers a few centimeters from your body?

In every culture, part of the body varies pudenda. While the Chinese are to their feet, Arabs and Persians conceal his mouth. Or the case of prostitution. There has always been somewhat marginal. In previous cultures, some women devoted to the gods and offered themselves as part of ritual invocation and sacred dances.

Some were united in brotherhoods and each had their own emblems. The Kam Sütra was taught to the younger more diverse positions for the art of love. The most prominent families felt honored that his daughters were enshrined since childhood, for service in the temple. Something that today we think of everything inconceivable right? Religions are part of the analysis of Evol. How contemplates each sex?

As a taboo, as a way to elevate the spirit or, in the most direct condemnation forever. Taoism, Kabbalah, tantrismo ... In the case of Christianity, condemned sexuality, even expressed a genuine theological aversion to sex. For him, life is sexual sin and is only permitted when unfolded in marriage and with the aim of procreation.

In addition, to be confused with the ascetic priest, and hence the question of imposing celibacy. Broadly speaking, Julius Evola is proposing an emotional journey through the history and meaning of eros. Multiple ancestral experiences and unknown to almost everyone. Do you want to discover them?
