Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The author turns his attention to sex and the reasons why we are driven constantly to analyze and discuss it. An iconoclastic explanation of modern sexual history.

Review:

"The Care of the Self shares with the writings on which it draws the characteristic of being carefully constructed, exquisitely reasoned and internally cogent." The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"Foucault is a thinker from whose writing one can infer lessons for our modern lives and dilemmas." Boston Globe

Review:

"Though at times it draws very broad conclusions from the discussion of relatively few texts, it is still highly recommended." Library Journal
