This book connects the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade-one of the
most notorious, iconic, and yet poorly-understood figures within
the history of European thought-with the broader themes of the
Enlightenment. Rather than seeing himself as a mere pornographer,
Sade understood himself as continuing the progressive tradition of
French Enlightenment philosophy. Sade aspired to be a philosophe.
This book uses intellectual history and the history of philosophy
to reconstruct Sade's philosophical 'system' and its historical
context. Within the period's discourse of sensibility Sade draws on
the philosophical and the literary to form a relatively
sophisticated 'system' which he deploys to critically engage with
the two major strands of eighteenth-century ethical theory: the
moral sense and natural law traditions. This work is of interest
to: 'Continental' Philosophy, Critical Theory, French Studies, the
History of Eighteenth-Century Philosophy, Literary Studies, the
History of Moral Philosophy, and Enlightenment Studies.
