What? A degenerate french pedo who used the revolution as a means to not be arrested and torture whores? His message is literally "there is no god nature rewards cruelty" written over and over. Overrated.

he is great he is like stirner but a rapist

He basically closed the book on the ethics of difference. Even nietzsche bows to him.

why is being a degenerate french pedo bad

What are your opinions on 120 days? Is it a difficult book? I guess I’ll read it before getting into Bataille.

Point by point break down of the foolishness of Rousseau's philosophy in an over the top comic sex romp book. The only true pedos who are unworthy of being read are Nobbuckoff and his cultural marxist rocket loving dipshits.

It's still quite shocking even by today's standards, which is saying something. Profoundly offensive to most ethics but interesting nonetheless. The movie is even better.

why do we need two threads about this old turd

It's not difficult but it can be hard to stomach at times.

He was torturing whores (and maids) before the revolution, dummy. Besides, his head was booked for the chopping block partly because as a revolutionary judge he tried to spare as many people from execution as he could, which was considered too “moderate”.

He was a good person.

Is there someone more degenerate and immoral than him in history?

is de beauvoir's "must we burn sade?" any good?

just an insane criminal

Land says it best

In a world divided between theistic enthusiasts and secularist depressives there is little patience for the atheist who nurtures a passionate hatred for God. The mixture of naturalism and blasphemy that characterizes the Sadean text occupies the space of our blindness, to which Bataille’s writings are not unreasonably assimilated. If there is contradiction here it is one that is coextensive with the unconscious; the consequence of a revolt incommensurate with the ontological weight of its object. That God has wrought such loathesomeness without even having existed only exacerbates the hatred pitched against him. An atheism that does not hunger for God’s blood is an inanity, and the anaemic feebleness of secular rationalism has so little appeal that it approximates to an argument for his existence. What is suggested by the Sadean furore is that anyone who does not exult at the thought of driving nails through the limbs of the Nazarene is something less than an atheist; merely a disappointed slave.
