Hegel in his Philosophy of History has the most pertinent expression for this epoch: "The whole state of France at that time was a dissolute aggregation of privileges against idea and reason in general, a mad state with which, at the same time, was bound the highest depravity of morals and spirit-an empire of injustice with the growing consciousness of that state." The consciousness of the general evil of the century was sufficiently impressed upon him as on others. The Spread and Effect of Marquis de Sade’s Worksĭe Sade called the eighteenth century "the age of complete corruption" (Justine 1, 2) and in another place had Noirceuil say: "It is dangerous to desire to be virtuous in a corrupt century" (Juliette 1, 261).
