ABSTRACT
And finally, the eighth and final chapter of the book is also its conclusion, because it is impossible for a conclusion to conclude and close anything of the human. And here the psychoanalytic categories of neurosis, psychosis and perversion, which have been present throughout the book, are again exposed and disarticulated by the hand of both Goya’s engravings and a Hegel more radical than Sade himself. And here appears a Hegel who allows us to read the queer, the monstrous that we are in a radical way; and Sade himself is now left as an aged writer in order to give an account of ourselves. Sade became a rationalist child who liked to play at putting fear into the bourgeoisie of his time. And it is shown that the human is itself dynamic and that is how it is structured in a precarious and contingent way; and if one had to choose a psychoanalytical category as the most human category, it would be that of perversion. This is what is in Hegel in a radical way and from him, he is the true Sade, an emancipation of the human is expressed that allows us to understand our present in the hand of, for example, Anzaldúa and the intersection, of a new clinic closer to Winnicott and of a politics of “loving oneself” beyond the neurotic as in Haneke.
