Listen "Part 2: Perspectives on Human Sexuality"

Episode Synopsis

Following up from last week, this show will explore varying cultural attitudes toward sex (chiefly, Buddhist tantra) and compare/contrast them to the traditional western ideal. Among the questions that we will address are: Can we evaluate sexuality in a normative way? How do values underlying sexual attitudes differ from one culture to another? Is sex better characterized as a biological process of reproduction, or an important social artifact?
