Abstract
Donatien Alphonse François de Sade , a pornographer in 18 century France, in his famous novel “La Philosophie dans le boudoir ’’, existed an astonishing pamphlet ‘Français, encore un effort si vous voulez être républicains’. Points out the historical and political context of French Revolution, this pamphlet shows its significances.
The thesis would like to bring Sade and his works into the Enlightenment political theory, to consider how Sade subverts and mocks his contemporaries, especially the social contract theorists, to develop his own political plan , a criminal republic basis in vice. The establishing of the criminal republic relying on the absolute negation of religion 、state-law and society.
Following the ways of Sadean writings , Chapter 2 examines Sade’s viewpoints for atheism and anti-theocracy, trying to sketch Sadean religion-politic more clearer, by referring to the religious idea of French Revolution. Chapter 3 shows that just behind the rule-ignorant, pleasure-dominated community, lies some fundamental problematiques : sexual equality, social contract, despotism. An anarchy of the transgression of social contract, must accompanies the private despotism, or so called passionate despotism. Chapter 4 continues to investigate the reason of anarchy- passionate despotism structure : Sadean idea of human which basis in conflict. By a comparison to Rousseau, Sadean thought shows its distinctiveness and paradox. Chapter 5 is the conclusion.
