Resumen
Este artículo se propone comprender, en primer lugar, tres nociones relacionadas al deseo en la obra del teólogo del siglo II d.C. Clemente de Alejandría. Estas nociones, aphrodisia, orexeis y epithymia, reúnen significados que han sido traducidos e interpretados ambiguamente como ‘sexualidad’; sin embargo, se propone analizar con mayor amplitud y detenimiento los al-cances semánticos y filosóficos de aquellos términos, así como su tratamiento en la obra de autores pioneros de la historia de la sexualidad como Michel Foucault, planteando una crítica al abordaje de la obra clementina en su proyecto de historia.
