Michel FoucaultP#39;s Plt;iPgt;The Will to KnowledgePlt;/iPgt; is the first part of his influential trilogy of books onPlt;brPgt; the history of sexuality. He argues that the recent explosion of discussion about sex in the West means that, far from being liberated, we are in the process of making a science of sexuality that is devoted to the analysis of desire rather than the increase of pleasure. This is a brilliant polemic from a groundbreaking radical intellectual.
