Western culture has also undergone revolutionary changes in its understanding of human sexuality. While most of these changes are positive, there remain lingering unintended consequences, and the subsequent cultural upheavals need to be addressed.
Given that human sexuality is the means for the survival of our species as well as the impetus for much of human creativity and drive, our sexual self-understanding must be aligned with accurate visions of human nature itself in order not to be destructive.
Therefore, the task before us is a holistic analysis of human sexuality from the perspective of philosophical anthropology, ethics, and evolutionary theory, as well as an understanding of the complex relationship between culture and sexuality, which, in turn, yields insights into broader cultural forces and trends.
