[Ladda ner] (PDF) The History of Sexuality, Volume 2: The Use of
Pleasure
By Michel Foucault
In this sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly
original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks
perceived sexuality. Throughout The Uses of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistible
array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How
in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other
appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not
subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined,
if not confined, sexual behavior?
