Much better than vol.1; and a great final section about Greek love of boys/men, Platonic/Socratic love, and "true" love. ( )

I met this guy at a party who wanted to do nothing but talk about Foucault (I didn't like him very much). HIS opinion was that Foucault was awful. I wouldn't say awful, but he is not easy to read. If I met Foucault at a party, I would probably like him as much as I did that guy who insulted him. But he wrote about interesting things.

No rating because I skipped about half the book. Oops!

I andra delen går Foucault in på den antika grekiska kulturen och dess förhållande till njutning, både sexuella och andra njutningar. Lite långrandig i förhållande till den första delen. ( )

Foucault describes Victorian and twentieth-century Western sexuality as excessive talking about what we say we are not going to talk about. He contends that the unbridled discussion of not talking about sex is in fact a form of talking about sex. ( )
