Vol. II: The History of Sexuality

Throughout the years, I have found myself constantly exploring a deeper appreciation in the philosophy and study of the self, sexual experience and the understanding and history of. Somehow directly related to my facinastion of the body illustrated through my art and design, this is truly a great find and read, The Use of Pleasure, Vol. 2 The History of Sexuality written by philosopher Michel Foucault. I highly recommend this book and series!

 

"It seemed that by starting from the modern era, and proceeding back through Christianity to antiquity, one would not be able to avoid raising a question that was at the same time very simple and very general: why is sexual conduct, why are the activities and pleasures that attach to it, an object of moral solicitude? Why this ethical concern - which, at certain times, in certain societies and groups, appears more important than the moral attention that is focused on other, likewise essential, areas of indiviual or collective life, such as alimentary behaviors or the fulfillment of civic duties?"
