FOUCAULT MICHEL THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY 2

'No brief survey can do justice to the richness  complexity and detail of Foucault's
discussion' New York Review of Books   The second volume of Michel Foucault's pioneering
analysis of the changing nature of desire explores how sexuality was perceived in classical
Greek culture.  From the stranger byways of Greek medicine (with its advice on the healthiest
season for sex  as well as exercise and diet) to the role of women  The Use of Pleasure is full
of extraordinary insights into the differences - and the continuities - between the Ancient 
Christian and Modern worlds  showing how sex became a moral issue in the west.   'Required
reading for those who cling to stereotyped ideas about our difference from the Greeks in terms
of pagan license versus Christian austerity' Los Angeles Times Book Review
