A recepção de Agostinho em As confissões da carne, de Foucault

In this article, I intend to appreciate the reception of Augustine in “The confessions of the flesh”, volume 4 of the History of sexuality, by Michel Foucault, especially in the penultimate chapter of the work “The good and the goods of marriage”, with a double general purpose: to understand better, on the one hand, why the Augustinian work is privileged expedient for Foucault to critically present the subjectivation and objectification of a Christian sexual morality, as well as to problematize, on the other hand, the extent to which Augustine’s Foucault reading projects on him and in general on the other pères de l’église a psychoanalytical agenda considerably foreign to them. Finally, I will propose a key to reading The Confessions of the Flesh as another anti-Oedipus.
