'No brief survey can do justice to the richness, complexity and
detail of Foucault's discussion' New York Review of Books The
second volume of Michel Foucault's pioneering analysis of the
changing nature of desire explores how sexuality was perceived in
classical Greek culture. From the stranger byways of Greek medicine
(with its advice on the healthiest season for sex, as well as
exercise and diet) to the role of women, The Use of Pleasure is
full of extraordinary insights into the differences - and the
continuities - between the Ancient, Christian and Modern worlds,
showing how sex became a moral issue in the west. 'Required reading
for those who cling to stereotyped ideas about our difference from
the Greeks in terms of pagan license versus Christian austerity'
