TY - JOUR AB - <p>Sex has become to-day a sort of secular religion, i.e. a mass-belief in a new world entirely redeemed from its evils by revolution. Hope in revolution presupposes the ideas of man's original innocence and of society's<br>responsibility for evil (as theorised by Rousseau and Nietzsche, Saint-Simon and Marx) . As no political or economical revolution can entirely liberate man from his aggressiveness (Freud), the sexual revolution is<br>proposed (by Wilhelm Reich and his followers) as the basic step towards the new world. But a totally free sexuality, breaking the dialectics between Eros and Thanatos, gives way to the deathinstinct (Freud) and therefore to a world of struggle for domination, not of liberty.</p> AU - Sergio Cotta DA - 1975/12// DO - 10.21825/rp.v17i3.19535 IS - 3 VL - 17 PB - PY - 1975 TI - La sexualité en tant que dernier mythe politique T2 - Res Publica UR - https://openjournals.ugent.be/rp/article/id/73582/ ER -
