Sinopse

History of Sexuality 1: The Will to Know arrives in a bold new graphic design

From 1975 to 1984, Michel Foucault devoted his work at the Collège de France primarily to analyzing the place of sexuality in Western society, which gave rise to the four-volume History of Sexuality . The philosopher undertook historical research that highlighted, like no other, the importance of sex and sexuality in social life from Ancient Greece and Rome to modernity.

The first volume, The Will to Know , shows that sexuality was not repressed by capitalism, after having lived in freedom. The hypothesis is that, since the 16th century—a process that intensified from the 19th century onward—sex has been encouraged to manifest itself by a desire to know about sexuality, which is part of the strategies of controlling individuals and the popularizations characteristic of modern societies.
