History of Sexuality: 4

Foucault's History of Sexuality changed the way we think about power, selfhood and sexuality. In this fourth and final volume, he turns his attention to early Christianity, exploring how ancient ideas of pleasure were modified into the Christian notion of the 'flesh' - a transformation that would define the Western experience of sexuality.

Essentially completed at Foucault's death, the manuscript of this volume was locked away in a Paris bank vault for nearly thirty years. Now for the first time, the work is available to English-language readers as the author originally conceived it.

Istoria sexualitatii a lui Foucault a schimbat modul in care gandim despre putere, sine si sexualitate. In acest al patrulea si ultim volum, el isi indreapta atentia catre crestinismul timpuriu, explorand modul in care ideile stravechi despre placere au fost modificate in notiunea crestina de ,,carne" - o transformare care ar defini experienta occidentala a sexualitatii.
