The remaining fragments of the second unpublished tome of the History of sexuality (Flesh and Body) show us that the reflection on early modern Christianity is a capital moment in Foucault’s production. In the mid-1970s, studying both a religious and sexual problem (the confession of the sin of lust between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation), Foucault encounters a new dimension of the self, constituted as a relationship to one’s own body and truth-discourses. In his analysis, he introduces the issue of subjectivity, which was never absent from his intellectual works but was not yet considered within this central relationship to the self as an open possibility both of conflict and of freedom.
