Re: Foucault and Aries

Hello. Sorry; I don't know about that reference, myself. However, Aries did
a lecture (perhaps for Johns Hopkins?) regarding shifts in _Western Views of
Death_ (apprx. title) over the centuries. He eventually stated that death
has taken the place of sex as the most taboo of subjects. I found this
particularly interesting when juxtaposing Foucault's views of sex and the
body!! Anyone read this particular Aries text/ have comments?
