Inner Experience [Georges Bataille]

[God] [Is] [Dead]

Inner Experience

Georges Bataille

SUNY Press, NY. 1988. First SUNY edition hardcover. Some dings, chipping, and soiling to the front and rear boards with some wear to the corners. Text is unmarked and clean. Includes a note indicating this was a review copy from SUNY.

From the publisher:

"It outlines a mystical theology and experience of the sacred founded on the absence of god. Bataille calls Inner Experience a "narrative of despair," but also describes it as a book wherein "profundity and passion go tenderly hand in hand." Herein, he says, "The mind moves in a strange world where anguish and ecstasy take shape."

Harrowing and lovely stuff; important. This is a cool little hardcover edition from SUNY Press distributed as a review copy. A very important work by one of our most important thinkers. Highly recommended. Deathspell Omega fans take note! Also don't pay College Book Store prices for this one.
