Sade, para além da cruz e da espada

Sade has also been an enigma in relation to politics, particularly because he has never been sincere about it. Considerations that are not always precise made by biographers and commentators also contribute to it. Clarifying it calls for a careful investigation, which I hope to have carried out with the works Sade contre l’Être Suprême (1793) and La philosophie dans le boudoir (1795), written during the period of installation of the first French Republic. Through them I reveal Sade as little Monarchist as Republican. Moreover, with La nouvelle Justine (1797) and Histoire de Juliette (1797), I reveal his political philosophy built on the conduction of the materialistic theses taken to the ultimate consequences, which I illustrate with the notion of Orgy.
