Sex and Mankind in Progress

Despite the change in customs and the apparent facilitation that has ensued with regard to sexual relationality, the subject still maintains a need for further study, in view of its always desirable improvement in concrete interpersonal and collective life. This book can be considered as the second element of a diptych, together with the previous OLTRE L’ARENA (2017) dedicated to the innovation of the economic and political scenario. While here we intend to analyze and elaborate the socio-philosophical and intersubjective data of sex, also innovating metapsychological paradigms and outlining new interpretative and therefore educational, relational and anthropological realities, in the perspective of a general and particular improvement of human life.

Trying to respond to what was initially expressed as follows: "... A lot seems to me to depend on the authenticity and freedom of cognitive interest, that is on the ability and possibility to have a deeper, more complete and responsible understanding; by certain circumstances that place us or not in the condition of giving an audience and order to that space of the “unspoken” that we spoke about at the beginning of this introduction; when one discovers the admissibility - as some authentic or lucky philosopher has managed - to look at the things that are pertinent to our intelligent life with an always excited and new look, and precisely to know them, guarantee them, live them, love them better.

Under this condition, the unspoken is no longer and is never a dark and worrying remnant or an insignificant one to flee from, or the enemy of the stability and quality of the object of what has been said, asserted and accepted, or the danger to lose the freedom and the joy of rediscovering and renewing the things that matter and that we really care about; but it is the “space” that is necessary for us to be and to become, and it is the air that even the aforementioned needs in order not to suffocate and not suffocate us ...
