Love him, recommend him all the time (unironically). I read 120 Days of Sodom when I was in college. Basically a grotesque mix of flowery language and insane depravity. De Sade was kind of windy and probably got off on his own prose

Pasolini did a fine job adapting 120 Days as a condemnation of the Italian gov't (he probably lost his life because of it)

Not even this fucking edgelord?

Why don't you read the Marquis, lads? He's edgy, humorous and writes 4chan flavoured Platonic dialogues.

plen supreme

Is hedonistic egoism the inescapable end stage of Enlightenment though? Is this where people end up when they forsake traditional and religious values?

1. That picture is Sade's dad, not Sade.
2. He hasn't had any equals, no one has been as extreme.

Sade's Republic is pretty much the most valid and reasonable ideal, right?

Inb4 you don't read.

Marquis de Sade was actually the first true and most consistent defender of women rights and a true egalitarian. Read his better works like Philosophy in the Bedroom. He taught bitches about their clit when they weren't allowed enjoyment. He taught them about contraceptives and making the most of the power that their femininity provides them.

He was also great in the sense that he didn't consider women's empowerment to be about stopping to be women like some angry dykes. He urged them to embrace what they are and make the best of it.

Truly, there hasn't been a more properly feminist writer since based Donatien Alphonse François, and I've never met an educated woman who dislikes him, and the women who know and appreciate Sade are the best there are.

Do you agree that Sade is the culmination of Enlightenment thinking?

/lit/? Are any books of De Sade actually worth reading?

Tout ce que l’on peut dire à présent en gros, c’est qu’ils étaient généralement susceptibles du goût de la sodomie, que tous quatre se faisaient enculer régulièrement, et que tous quatre idolâtraient les culs. Le duc cependant, relativement à l’immensité de sa construction et plutôt sans doute par cruauté que par goût, foutait encore des cons avec le plus grand plaisir. Le président quelquefois aussi, mais plus rarement. Quant à l’évêque, il les détestait si souverainement que leur seul aspect l’eût fait débander pour six mois. Il n’en avait jamais foutu qu’un dans sa vie, celui de sa belle-sœur, et dans la vue d’avoir un enfant qui pût lui procurer un jour les plaisirs de l’inceste ; on a vu comment il avait réussi. A l’égard de Durcet, il idolâtrait le cul pour le moins avec autant d’ardeur que l’évêque, mais il en jouissait plus accessoirement ; ses attaques favorites se dirigeaient dans un troisième temple. La suite nous dévoilera ce mystère.

I can't De Sade if I like this thread or not.
