Abstract
In this contribution, spirituality and sexuality are brought together as part of a quest for authenticity. In conversation with Hegel and Nietzsche, the confusion between sameness and difference as it plays out in the confusion between the public and private spheres is analysed, en route to proposing life-affirming sexual identities, including non-mainstream sexualities.
Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Aspects of philosophy, spirituality and human sexuality are brought in conversation with one another.
