Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997. A treatise on the nature of philosophical creation. Barthes examines the parallel impulses of Loyola, the Jesuit saint, Sade, the renowned and sometimes pornographic libertine philosopher, and Fourier, the utopian theorist. All three, he makes clear, have been founders of languages Loyola the language of divine address: Sade, the language of erotic freedom: and Fourier, the language of social perfection and happiness. Each language is an all-enveloping system, a "secondary language" that isolates the adherent from the conventional world. The object of this book, is not to decipher the content of these respective works, but to consider Sade, Fourier, and Loyola as creators of text.. First Thus. Paperback.
