Marquis de Sades Moral Philosophy
This video outlines the Marquis de Sade s defense of immoralism, the view that morality is groundless, and that it is in our selfinterest to act contrary to accepted norms: in particular, that we benefit from inflicting suffering and death on others. I have drawn from arguments given by various characters in Juliette, Justine, and Philosophy in the Bedroom. There is not a great deal of secondary literature on Sade in the analytic tradition; however, Roche s article Much Sense the Starkest Madness: Sade s Moral Scepticism was useful, particularly for the first half the video.
