Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

According to Lauwaert, many French thinkers wrote about Sade’s work in relation to recurring themes and ideas in their own oeuvres. [...] He sees each of their engagements with Sade as embedded within some thematic concern in each of their own works, and thus posits that a stronger link can be established between Sade’s ideas and post-War French philosophy.
