Description
The Limit of the Useful by Georges Bataille is an unfinished work that offers insights into the philosopher's later thought. First published in his lifetime but remaining untranslated, this English-language translation sheds light on Bataille's challenge to capitalism and his engagement with various concepts and ideas. The book bridges the gap between his surrealist literary writings and later scientific pursuits, providing a unique perspective on his oeuvre.
