Description
Inner Experience is a profound and deeply personal work by Georges Bataille, first published in 1943. This new translation includes the supplementary texts Bataille added to create the first volume of his Summa Atheologica, as well as full notes and annotations from the French edition of his Oeuvres Complètes.
Bataille's search for experience is a journey into the unknown, where anguish and ecstasy take shape. He seeks to access a sovereign realm through meditation, combining elements of horror, delight, laughter, intoxication, eroticism, poetry, and sacrifice. This book offers a unique perspective on the nature of the sacred and the human experience.
With an introductory essay by Stuart Kendall that situates the work historically, biographically, and philosophically, Inner Experience is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of knowledge and the power of the human spirit.
