The History of Sexuality, Volume 1, 2, 3

Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality is a groundbreaking multi-volume work that reshaped how modern thought understands power, desire, and identity. The series challenges the assumption that Western society has long repressed sexuality. Instead, Foucault argues that modern institutions—medicine, psychiatry, law, religion, and the state—have actively produced discourses about sex, using them as a means of regulating populations and exercising power.
