Beschreibung

<p><b>'No brief survey can do justice to the richness, complexity and detail of Foucault's discussion' <i>New York Review of Books</i></b><br><br>The second volume of Michel Foucault's pioneering analysis of the changing nature of desire explores how sexuality was perceived in classical Greek culture.<br><br>From the stranger byways of Greek medicine (with its advice on the healthiest season for sex, as well as exercise and diet) to the role of women, <i>The Use of Pleasure</i> is full of extraordinary insights into the differences - and the continuities - between the Ancient, Christian and Modern worlds, showing how sex became a moral issue in the west. <br><br>'Required reading for those who cling to stereotyped ideas about our difference from the Greeks in terms of pagan license versus Christian austerity' <i>Los Angeles Times Book Review</i></p>
