FOUCAULT MICHEL THE HISTORY OF SEXUALITY 3

'Bristles with provocative insights into the tangled liaisons of sex and self' Times Higher
Education   In the third volume of his acclaimed examination of sexuality in modern Western
society  Foucault investigates the Golden Age of Rome to reveal a decisive break from the
classical Greek version of sexual pleasure. Exploring the moral reflections of philosophers and
physicians of the era  he identifies a growing anxiety over sexual activity and its
consequences. At the core of this transformation Foucault found the principles of the 'care of
the self': the belief that the self is an object of knowledge to be cultivated over time  and
the implications this has for ethics and behaviour.  'Magnificent ... Foucault's great
achievement is to illuminate an entire and cohesive body of thought. It is brilliantly done'
