In this foundational text, Michel Foucault examines the historical construction of sexuality as a discourse of power and knowledge. By tracing the evolution of sexual regulation from the eighteenth century to the modern era, the author challenges the repressive hypothesis and explores how institutional structures shape human identity and social control. This edition serves as a critical entry point into Foucault's influential analysis of the relationship between bodies, pleasure, and political authority.
