Enter email to join the webinar Email me the schedule Summary Modern perceptions of Marquis de Sade (1740–1814) see him as a radical, disturbing philosopher of extreme individual autonomy who used transgression to show that nature is indifferent to human morality. His texts are a dark mirror to the Enlightenment, exposing a social hypocrisy that preached virtue while weaponizing power.
