Rezensionen

Praise for the original French edition, Foucault, la sexualité, l'Antiquité (Éditions Kimé, 2016):

"The present book will remain a highly stimulating work for anyone wishing to go beyond well-worn paths, by making use of the new epistemological framework Foucault provides for approaching the question of ancient sexuality." Arnaud Paturet, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"Foucault, Sexuality, Antiquity sets out to provide an update on Foucauldian thought regarding sexuality.... The book is a success, both at the level of the quality of the individual contributions, the clarity of their discussions, but also in the ways they complement one another." Jan Nelis, Anabases
