John Phillips introduces the Marquis de Sade's highly original and thoroughly subversive depiction of human sexuality, and the philosophical and political thinking that underpins it. He shows how, though Sade's work continues to shock, it can also be seen as the logical conclusion of eighteenth-century materialism. As the only writer of his time who dared to put the body at the centre of philosophy, Sade has a unique place in the history of modern thought. Extracts are taken from the whole range of Sade's literary, philosophical and personal writings, including The 120 Days of Sodom, Philosophy in the Boudoir, Justine, Juliette, and his Last Will and Testament Includes bibliographical references and index Contents: Facts and fictions Between heaven and earth Sex-therapy, Sadeian style Despot or democrat? Louis Sade, man of letters Libertinage in theory and practice Victims The ambivalent feminine Sex on the stage Sade's legacy
