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 - 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.
