Description

This is an investigation into the significance of Sade as a philosopher of the enlightenment. The book describes Sade's ruthless exploration of the fundamentals of morality - crime and justice, murder and capital punishment, the taboos and rights of sexual expression and the ethical basis of virtue and vice. It goes on to explain why his ideas contine to be debated by modern critics and feminists.
