Introduction

Sexuality and Christianity - often these two topics are opposed. This is not surprising because the negative attitude towards sexual relations and sex-phobia, fear in relation to sexuality, negative attitudes towards sexuality accompany the entire history of the Christian churches. One theory of the fall of humanity says that the sin of Adam and Eve was that they have entered into a sexual relationship. (Kamitsuka, M.D., 2010, p.26) In turn, the Christian asceticism tried to instill in Christians a feeling of contempt for their own corporeality (by the way, another theory Fall states that "leather garments" that God gave ...

Freud's Account of Human Sexuality and Human Desire

Basically, psychoanalysis and Freud's theories are associated with his theory of sexuality, considering that he regarded all aspects of human life (i.e. beginning with a simple mental disorder up to religious doctrines), as the sexual problems. This comic effect arises also because the question of what Freud used to call sexuality remains outside the attention. If one examines the issue of human sexuality in the works of Freud in detail, the work of sensual sphere and sphere of desires becomes evident. The phenomenon of Freud, the author of the doctrine of psychoanalysis, is that he was the first to ...

Plato describes how drunken Alcibiades surrounded by the lush gang of revelers suddenly breaks into a banquet. The audience somehow explains to him the essence of the ongoing negotiations, and also offers to give a speech in honor of Eros. But after learning the contents of the Socrates words, Alcibiades fully agrees with them. Since he has nothing to add about Eros, he decides to make a speech in honor of Socrates (Gill).

Some form the basis of religions such as the seven day creation story in the judeo-christian faith, some like the Japanese creation story give basis and legitimacy to the ruling family (the japanese emperors are believed to be direct descendants of the sun god) and others remain as they are. Although ...

According to Rolheiser spirituality is the ultimately what we do with the Eros, that desire. I agree with his idea and definition. From the past experience religion has focused on confining people to a given spirituality. They however never managed to do this through the forceful attempts as people still had the chances to desire. This show that the spirituality within person breaks out in their own way no matter the conditions and thus it is true that spirituality is just what we do as the eros that desire. The one of the many struggles as outlined in the ...
