{"product_id":"9780241386002","title":"The History of Sexuality: 3 : The Care of the Self by Michel Foucault","description":"Bristles with provocative insights into the tangled liaisons of sex and self' Times Higher EducationIn  the third volume of his acclaimed examination of sexuality in modern  Western society, Foucault investigates the Golden Age of Rome to reveal a  decisive break from the classical Greek version of sexual pleasure.  Exploring the moral reflections of philosophers and physicians of the  era, he identifies a growing anxiety over sexual activity and its  consequences. At the core of this transformation Foucault found the  principles of the 'care of the self': the belief that the self is an  object of knowledge to be cultivated over time, and the implications  this has for ethics and behaviour.   'Magnificent ... Foucault's great achievement is to illuminate an entire and cohesive body of thought. It is brilliantly done' Daily Telegraph\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56229283037557,"sku":"9780241386002","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241386002.jpg?v=1762257651","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241386002","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
