Book Synopsis

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

Review Quotes

"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

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