Abstract

The paper presents a comparison of de Sade and Eichmann - the latter having been examined in prison by the author. Eichmann is characterised by insatiable murderous impulses, insufficient defenses of the ego, lack of empathy and identification, depersonalisation, alienation and a bureaucratic administration of murder. De Sade, on the other hand, was imaginative, theatrical, trying to channel his aggressive impulses into erotic plays. A way is suggested to eroticize and sublimate aggression.
