Section one. Explain, giving examples, how sexuality is thought to be spiritual in nature? Sexuality is thought to be spiritual in nature because it is a way for two people to connect on a more emotional and mystical level.

He shows disdain for how the ruling class uses education, especially in religion to conform society to how they see fit. In Foucault opinion, this creates a lack of freedom. Ancient philosophers like Thomas Aquinas take the opposite point of view. He believes understanding can only be achieved through God. Jesus of Nazareth is the highest example of being close to god. Thomas Aquinas identified the goal of human existence is union and eternal
