The History of Sexuality, Vol. 3: The Care of the Self

Michel Foucault, 2020

Overview

This volume delves into the Golden Age of Rome, marking a departure from classical Greek notions of sexual pleasure. Foucault explores the moral reflections of ancient philosophers and physicians, identifying a growing concern regarding sexual activity and its repercussions.
