Wola wiedzy (Historia seksualności, t. 1)

Wprowadzenie

The short first volume of a planned history of sexuality, published in 1976. Foucault dropped the six-volume plan announced there; volumes two and three, on ancient Greece and Rome, appeared only in 1984, the year of his death, and a fourth, Confessions of the Flesh, was published posthumously in 2018. Against the view that modern societies silenced sex, he describes a proliferation of discourses – in confession, medicine, psychiatry and education – that turned sexuality into the hidden truth of the self. He contrasts this Western “scientia sexualis” with an “ars erotica”. The last chapter introduces “biopower”: a power over life that manages bodies and populations rather than threatening death.
