{"product_id":"sade-my-neighbor-pierre-klossowski-9780810109582","title":"Sade My Neighbor","description":"Enlightenment ideals of a society rooted in liberationist reason and morality were trampled in the wake of the savagery of the Second World War. That era's union of cold technology and ancient hatreds gave rise to a dark, alternative reason--an ethic that was value-free and indifferent with regard to virtue and vice, freedom, and slavery. In a world where \"the unthinkable\" had become reality, it is small wonder that theorists would turn to the writings of a man whose eighteenth-century imagination preceded twentieth-century history in its unbridled exploration of viciousness, perversion, and monstrosity: the Marquis de Sade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Klossowski was one of the first philosophers in postwar Europe to ask whether Sade's reason, although aberrant and perverted to evil passions, could be taken seriously. Klossowski's seminal work inspired virtually all subsequent study of Sadean thought, including that of de Beauvoir, Deleuze, Derrida, Bataille, Blanchot, Paulhan, and Lacan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Klossowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810109581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810109582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.73w x 0.84d","brand":"Pierre Klossowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992472322303,"sku":"9780810109582","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e81d605b-6838-4161-9d82-9e8056f80410.jpg?v=1683319132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sade-my-neighbor-pierre-klossowski-9780810109582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
