The Culture of Confession from Augustine to Foucault: A Genealogy of the 'Confessing Animal' - Studies in Philosophy
Taylor, Chloe (University of Alberta, Canada)
Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, as well as the history of Western confessional writings from Ancient Greece to contemporary pop culture, this book challenges the transhistorical and commonsense views of confession as an innate impulse resulting in the psychological liberation of the confessing subject.
