| Summary |
"Using a transdisciplinary and developmental approach, the author presents his vision of the role of homosexuality in human evolution by reconciling biological, sociocultural, historical, ethical, psychological, ontological, and spiritual dimensions. Stressing connections between the mythic representation and social status of homosexuality, he advocates creation of a modern mythos of same-sex love largely inspired from the scientific narrative"--Provided by publisher. |
