The Study Of Morality In THAAD's Novels

The eighteenth century French writer Sade was a controversial writer.His contraversiality is not only due to his body writing,but also caused by his question of Christian morality.As a believer in the science and rationality of the Enlightenment,Sade questioned the conservative Christian morality,he in real life.Sade regards its conduct rules and regulations as restraint and oppression on human beings.This dissertation is divided into four parts.Part one investigates Sade's oppositions to the Christian morality.Part two delves into the natural morality reflected in Sade's novels.Part three illustrates the thoughts of self-love and freedom in his natural moralities.Part four evaluates his Relativism and Nihilism tendency in his moral thoughts.Sade denied the rationality of Christian morality.He believes that God as the fulcrum of building Christian morality is itself a concept of artificial creation.Sade argues from the perspective of science and reason that God cannot exist.He believes that Christianity's conviction,obedience,and pure morality are the means by which the ruling class construct which can be used to protect its own interests.The fulcrum of Christian morality is God,and the dramatic change of nature is a proof of miraculous manifestation.In his novel,Sade puts forward the natural morality constructed with nature as the fulcrum.Sade believes that the change of nature exists objectively,and it is the recombination of material changes and atoms.It is legitimate for Sade to propose that what is according with nature is moral,and that nature will be the standard of behavior.Nature is the core of Sade's morality.His ethics is centered on the relationship between man and nature.He firmly believes that the most basic rule of life is to follow natural life.Sade follows the concept of natural morality and puts forward the moral concept of self-love,independence and freedom for Christian morality.Sade's self-loving morality holds that personal preservation is the most important thing for people,and the justice of people loving themselves.Sade's self-love is based on his respect for life.He opposes the death penalty and promotes individual survival.Sade opposed the use of morality to force people to care for others.Sade's rebellious morality opposes power and law.The virtues shaped by power shaping have become tools to maintain their own rule.Sade questioned the unitary standard and proposed a multi-dimensional judgment.Where Sade's pluralistic morality is not self-consistent,it is impossible to draw a moral consensus.Sade's free morality is the freedom to control the body.The sex in his writing is not just sex itself.Sex is the metaphor of power and the symbol of freedom.The freedom he pursues is to make full use of the power that nature gives to mankind.But Sade pushes freedom to an unbounded state,arguing that social contract is the shackle that binds people.The essence of Sade's morality-centered morality is divided into four aspects: the relativity of moral judgment standards,the relativity of cultural relativism,the relativity of moral judgment ability and the relativity of moral paradox.These four points,from subjective to objective,constitute the essence of the relativism of Sade's moral concept.Regardless of subjectivity or objectivity,Sade believes that the morality of man-made development has its narrowness.Sade believes in moral relativism,morality is different from different cultures under different eras and different cultures.His moral theory is moral relativism based on cultural relative phenomena.Its moral outlook must enter the theoretical and practical dilemma.Sade's attempt to replace God with nature and to replace Christian morality with natural morality is caught in an unsolvable theoretical and practical dilemma.There are three kinds of dilemmas.The first is the contradiction between nature and norms and order.The second is the contradiction between humanity and animalism.The third is the contradiction between ideal and reality.Its moral relativism leads to the emptiness of moral standards.The reason for Sade's moral theory is that it is not self-consistent in attempting to construct a moral system with nature.
