Reading Philosophy

More and more have I become attracted to others philosophical ideas. Although I may not agree with most, some I find intriguing. Recently, I have procured the scandalous book Juliette by the infamous Marquis De Sade. Even though this book contains racy subjects, one must look beyond them to understand the author's personal philosophy. So far in my reading, I interpreted the overall idea of one's human nature and that vice is manifests in our imagination; therefore, they cannot be punished by imprisonment alone.


The Marquis is the perfect example of the power that the human mind contains--especially when left idle and wandering. We should never take for granted what the human is capable of.

I will provide a formal review once I have completed my read of the novel.
