SOVEREIGNTY (OF DESIRES) OF THE SUBJECT IN THE WORKS OF BATAILLE AND SADE
The article examines the phenomenon of sovereignty in the works of Georges Bataille, dedicated to the Marquis de Sade, in comparison with the theories of psychoanalysis and Nancy. The influence of Freud’s works on the views of the French philosopher is studied. For a more thorough analysis, the works of other thinkers whose problems are consonant with the research topic (Kierkegaard, Lacan) are given. The author comes to the conclusion that the phenomenon of sovereignty (independence, autonomy from others) of the subject largely contradicts the image that has been gaining popularity lately; the ambiguity and paradoxicity of sovereignty is shown.
