"The Marquis de Sade: The more freedom that never existed"-Guillaume Apollinaire
The Marquis de Sade is a figure that still cause fascination for some, and for many others, revulsion. A writer and philosopher of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century who lived most of his life detained in different prisons, and finally died in Charenton Psychiatric Hospital in 1814, is a figure that still has the same effect on readers, as did two centuries ago. But what was the work of the Marquis de Sade (and you have to do a blog atheist?). The Marquis de Sade writing erotic stories, but not any eroticism, but a warped eroticism, to the point that it becomes grotesque. People of course, closed mind (granted by the Catholic Church, apart from who?), Despised these stories and called it crazy, and it was his writings on sex and debauchery 'deviant' which led to many closures during long, including the Bastille, on which contributed to his famous attack during French Revolution. The Marquis not only wrote stories of debauchery and eroticism, but also had a philosophy, which, though not very complex, was strong enough to attack the church and religion. Among his earlier books is "Dialogue between a Priest and a Dying Man", a book where a man at the time of his death debate with a priest, refuting all the arguments, finally convincing him that his god is false.
Not only has this to atheism, but has a fondness for nature. For anything that is of course possible, not bad, but on the contrary, is good. According to him, one must obey your instincts, passions to seize it, not suppress all the time, of course you must also follow a moral, but not the moral model imposed by society (and I stress, the church). For he must have a polarity, one must follow both a moral self, but that does not deny all pleasure and every passion you have. Morality is not bad, while not overly practiced equally true passion. To everything there is time, and that is what teaches us the Marquis. He has works on unbridled passions, such as "The 120 Days of Sodom", "FiolosofĂa toilet", "Justina" and others, as has moral works such as "Tales, fables and stories" and "Crimes of Love." All This according to a polarity in which neither behavior is suppressed, and teaching us that we should be us who fight for what we believe, and of course, do not expect anyone else to do for us.
This is a brief introduction to his work, and a summary of his philosophy, for better understanding, we must read his work, which is not difficult to understand, and not very long. Just take an open mind.
