Each discipline focuses on only one aspect, a lower aspect, of sexuality. He criticizes biological, sociological, psychological and sexological approaches to understanding sexuality as essentially shallow. His primary reference for this conclusion is the state of research on sex. Sex in the Modern Era Evola argues that sexuality in the modern age has become depraved. Second, metaphysics means the “science that goes beyond the physical” (from the Introduction).
First, metaphysics means the “first principles” of a thing. He uses the term “metaphysics” in two ways. In this field, as in every other, our contemporaries have shown no interest in the search for ultimate meanings, or if they have, the search has appeared inconclusive and uninteresting rather, they have thought to attain more important and serious knowledge by keeping to an empirical and more strictly human level, whenever their attention has not been focused on the pathological by-products of sex." - Eros and the Mysteries of LoveĮvola sets out in this book to investigate the metaphysics of sex. But none of this has any relation to the metaphysics of sex. In the modern era and above all in our own day, studies of the problem of the sexes from anthropological, biological, sociological, eugenic, and psychoanalytic points of view have multiplied endemically in fact, a neologism, " sexology," has been created to label research of this kind. After him, we can only cite Weininger and, to a certain extent, Berdyaev and Klages. After mentioning Plato and leaving aside certain hints found in mystical writings of the Renaissance - and also ignoring the theories of Boehme and some heterodox mystics influenced by him, up to and including Franz von Baader - only with Schopenhauer do we find a precursor. There has been little precedence for this kind of research. The metaphysics of sex will therefore be the study of what from an absolute point of view is signified by the sexes and their interaction. The first is commonly employed in philosophy, where metaphysics is understood as the search for first principles and fundamental meanings.
"The term " metaphysics" in the title of this book needs to be defined, for it will be used here with two distinct meanings.
Paracelsus was alluding here in a cryptic language to the. "From this psychic seed spring the incubi which oppress women and the succubi which attack men."29 This is what the Germans called the Alpminne in the Middle Ages.
