The final major work by one of the most influential thinkers of the
twentieth century In the fourth and final volume of his
far-reaching and influential study of human sexuality, Foucault
turns his attention to early Christianity, exploring how ancient
ideas of pleasure were modified into the notion of the 'flesh'.
Ranging over marriage, procreation and the concept of virginity as
a divine state, Foucault brilliantly shows how a fledgling religion
altered and defined the Western history of desire. Confessions of
the Flesh brings to a conclusion one of the twentieth century's
seminal works. 'A thinker of immense power ... posing questions
that still perplex us' The Times Literary Supplement 'Required
reading ... The appearance of the fourth volume is the most
significant event in the world of Foucault scholarship in 20 years
... Essential' Los Angeles Review of Books
