What "is" the meaning of sex?
Everyone in every time and place is interested in sex. Our own
time is obsessed by it. One would think that a society obsessed by
sex would understand it very well. But the truth is that obsession
drives out understanding. We no longer understand even the common
sense of sexuality, the things that were common knowledge in
supposedly less enlightened times.
Acclaimed philosopher J. Budziszewski remedies this problem. His
wise, gracefully written book about the nature, meaning, and
mysteries of sexuality restores lost wisdom, raising and answering
such questions as: -Does sex have to mean anything at all?
-What is the meaning of the sexual powers, of sexual differences,
of sexual love, of sexual beauty, of sexual purity?
-Is sexuality "all about sex"?
-why does sexuality stir up such transcendent longings for
something more than sex?
"On the Meaning of Sex" corrects the most prevalent errors about
sex, particularly the errors of the sexual revolution, which by
mistaking pleasure for a good in itself has caused untold pain and
suffering. In restoring the meaning and purpose of sex, the author
reclaims what Dante calls "the intelligence of love."
"Looking out over the sexual landscape of our time,"
Budziszewski writes, "I see a terrain of unutterable sweetness,
despoiled by unmentionable pain. Yet who knows? Perhaps it is not
too late to redeem the unutterable sweetness. Shall we try to find
out?"
