He might be best known for sex and violence, but Lode Lauwaert
shows that the Marquis du Sade sits at a crossroads of surprisingly
disparate branches of western culture: abstract art, Tom and Jerry,
gnosticism, Kant's moral philosophy, romanticism, scholasticism,
stoicism and more. To explore these links, Lauwaert reads six
interpretations of Sade in French postwar philosophy DS looking
specifically at Pierre Klossowski, Maurice Blanchot, Georges
Bataille, Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes and Gilles Deleuze.
Lauwaert shows how these interpretations of de Sade can be read as
a lively introduction to a postmodern way of thinking that is often
considered inaccessible, but which dominated the French
intellectual scene after the Second World War. This perspective
takes the subject away from the centre of the universe and sees it
as an expression of a non-human force. And that helps us to better
understand contemporary thinkers such as Catherine Malabou and
Quentin Meillassoux.
