Confessions of the Flesh is the last work of the outstanding French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault (1926–1984), completed in rough form shortly before his death and published in the original language only in 2018. It continues the project conceived and started by Foucault in the mid-1970s under the general title “History of Sexuality”, the range of topics of which goes far beyond the framework of sexual relations between people and their understanding in ancient and Christian culture of the West. In “Confessions of the Flesh” we are talking about the development of issues of the flesh in the works of the Eastern and Western Fathers of the Church of the 2nd–5th centuries, about the formation in the same period of monastic and ascetic practices related to the body, flesh and sex, about the Christian regulation of marital relations and, more broadly , about the evolution of the Christian concept of marriage. Behind all these themes emerges the main philosophical stake of “The History of Sexuality” and of Foucault’s later thought in general - the study of the formation of subjectivity as a person’s idea of himself and his relationship to himself. The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
