Features: In The History of Sexuality, Foucault did not write a chronicle of human sexual behavior. He explored: what threads have connected sexuality and the pursuit of truth over so many centuries, and how and why people have sought knowledge about their own "truth" within sexuality. This Interpretation can also serve as a "substitute reading"—for those who want to understand Foucault but lack the time or energy to read his works. It allows them to understand Foucault through the author's reading, and then they will read him themselves. This is one of the purposes of this book.
