The Metaphysics of Sex

De: Julius Evola

Narrado por: Cat Weiss

A comprehensive work on the metaphysical aspects of sexuality. Julius Evola sheds new light on the mystical and spiritual expression of sexual love. This in-depth study explores the sexual rites of sacred traditions, and shows how religion, mysticism, folklore, and mythology all contain erotic forms in which the deep potentialities of human beings are recognized.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Invokes the rich sexual symbolism of religious myths and mysteries throughout history, from the I Ching to the Kabbalah, to illustrate the redemptive power of the sexual act." (Los Angeles Times)

Metaphysics isn't my thing, but

I found this very enjoyable and challenging. Much different than anything I usually read. I would definitely recommend this.

Excellent book with masterful narration

I've read several of Evola's other works and this one stands out as one of my new favorites. As always, Evola speaks from outside of the post-modern paradigms, offering a third way. This will be good food for thought for anyone who rejects the current day licentiousness of sex but feels there is some thing amiss about the "Puritanical" alternative. It is also insightful with respect to how men and women relate to each other in an ideal and spiritual sense. Given that the subject matter is one essential to the being of everyone, there is certainly valuable wisdom to be gained no matter who you are or what stage of life you are in. However, this is not a book rooted in the mundane, it must be approached from a overarching spiritual view of the world to truly appreciate it.

The narration was masterfully done. Miss Weiss' voice is pleasant to listen to, but it does not distract from the subject matter. As with all good audiobooks, it did not sound like a recitation of words on paper, rather Miss Weiss channeled the author flawlessly. The sound quality is great, diction and pronunciation are clear and correct, cadence is easy to follow as well. I hope she does more narrations in the future.

Overall, 5/5 on all counts.

If you’re smart enough to read Evola this is worth listening to.

If you like Evola or you are interested in esotericism, gender, sex, and related things you will like this one. Excellent narration Cat.
