Sade, Hobbes, Isolisme, State of Nature.Abstract
This paper studies the concept of «isolisme» in two works written by
Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, La Nouvelle Justine and Histoire de Juliette, by analyzing the different meanings it adopts and the arguments for and against developed by Sade’s libertine philosophical characters with regards to it. Our aim is to examine the unavoidable dialogue Sade establishes with the social contract tradition (we will focus on the Hobbesian line), showing how Sadean libertine characters interpret, discuss and represent (literarily and conceptually) the key notions of this tradition of political thought.
