«La inquietud de sí» is the philosophical essay by Michel Foucault, published by Siglo XXI de España Editores in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Michel Foucault analyzes how sexual activity was problematized in the Greek and Latin texts of the first two centuries of our era. He studies prescriptive writings —discourses, treatises, letters— that propose rules of conduct: practical texts for the individual to question his own life and form himself as an ethical subject.
Third volume of the History of Sexuality saga, published in Spanish in 1987. Translated from the French by Ulises Guiñazú and Martí Soler; original title: Le souci de soi.
Reference work for university students and readers interested in philosophy, ethics and the history of sexuality.
Paul-Michel Foucault was a French historian of ideas and philosopher, who was also an author, literary critic, political activist, and teacher. Foucault's theories primarily addressed the relationships between power, knowledge and liberty, and he analyzed how they are used as a form of social control through multiple institutions. Though often cited as a structuralist and postmodernist, Foucault rejected these labels and sought to critique authority without limits on himself. His thought has influenced academics within a large number of contrasting areas of study, with this especially including those working in anthropology, communication studies, criminology, cultural studies, feminism, literary theory, psychology, and sociology. His efforts against homophobia and racial prejudice as well as against other ideological doctrines have also shaped research into critical theory and Marxism–Leninism alongside other topics.
