    About The History of Sexuality

    Why we are so fascinated with sex and sexuality—from the preeminent philosopher of the 20th century.

    Michel Foucault offers an iconoclastic exploration of why we feel compelled to continually analyze and discuss sex, and of the social and mental mechanisms of power that cause us to direct the questions of what we are to what our sexuality is.
