Exploring the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade, this book positions him within the broader Enlightenment discourse, challenging the perception of him as merely a pornographer. It reconstructs Sade's philosophical system, emphasizing his engagement with the moral sense and natural law traditions of the eighteenth century. By blending intellectual and literary elements, Sade's work is presented as a sophisticated critique of contemporary ethical theories. This study appeals to scholars in various fields, including Continental Philosophy, Critical Theory, and Enlightenment Studies.
