Description

In the third volume of his acclaimed study on sexuality in contemporary Western society, Foucault examines the Golden Age of Rome and reveals a decisive break with the classical Greek version of sexual pleasure. Exploring the moral thoughts of philosophers and doctors of the time, he recognizes a growing concern about sexual activity and its consequences. At the heart of this transformation, Foucault identified the principles of "care of the self": the belief that the self is an object of knowledge that must be cultivated over time, along with the implications this has for ethics and behavior.
