In It He Builds An Argument Grounded In A Historical Analysis Of The Word Sexuality Against The Common Thesis That Sexuality Always Has Been Repressed In Western Society. Quite The Contrary: Since The 17th Century, There Has Been A Fixation With Sexuality Creating A Discourse Around Sexuality. It Is This Discourse That Has Created Sexual Minorities. In 'the History Of Sexuality', Foucault Attempts To Disprove The Thesis That Western Society Has Seen A Repression Of Sexuality Since The 17th Century And That Sexuality Has Been Unmentionable, Something Impossible To Speak About. In The 70s, When The Book Was Written, The Sexual Revolution Was A Fact. The Ideas Of The Psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, Saying That To Conserve Your Mental Health You Needed To Liberate Your Sexual Energy, Were Popular. The Past Was Seen As A Dark Age Where Sexuality Had Been Something Forbidden. V. 1. An Introduction -- V. 2. The Use Of Pleasure -- V. 3.
