Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transgressive writing of Georges Bataille (1897-1962) and the rigorous ethical philosophy of social activist and Christian mystic Simone Weil (1909-1943) seem to belong to different worlds. Yet in the political ferment of 1930s Paris, Bataille and Weil were intellectual adversaries who exerted a powerful fascination on each other. Saints of the Impossible provides the first in-depth comparison of Bataille's and Weil's thought, showing how an exploration of their relationship reveals new facets of the achievements of two of the twentieth century's leading intellectual figures and raises far-reaching questions about literary practice, politics, and religion.

Download or read book Georges Bataille written by Michel Surya and published by Verso. This book was released on 2002 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Krzysztof Filjalkowski and Michael Richardson Winner of the 1987 Prix Goncourt for Biography Georges Bataille (1897–1962), philosopher, writer and founder of the influential literary review Critique, had an enormous impact on the thinking of Foucault, Derrida and Baudrillard, and his ideas have been the subjets of recent debates in a wide range of disciplines. In this acclaimed intellectual biography Michel Surya enters into a complicity with Bataille's oeuvre to provide a detailed exposition of its themes as they developed against the backdrop of his life. The essence of Bataille's life and work were defined by transience and effacement, reflecting a will both to contest the impermanence of things and to confront death. His troubled childhood, his relationships with surrealism and his paradoxical position at the heart of twentieth-century French thought are enriched here with testimonies from Bataille's closest acquaintances, making this a vivid and detailed study. Revealing the contexts in which he worked, and the ways in which his work and ideas took shape, Surya sheds essential light on a figure Foucault described as "one of the most important writers of the century."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brouillage des identités politiques, perte des repères intellectuels et moraux, oscillation entre la révolte et la résignation : à qui veut saisir le vertige des temps de crise, les années trente offrent tout cela. Honni ou adulé, Nietzsche s'y révèle maître à penser sans interdire à Kojève d'imposer alors l'autorité de Hegel et l'incroyable démonstration de La fin de l'Histoire. Rien ne mobilise autant que la conviction de l'irrémédiable. Mais plus qu'à l'engagement pour quelque cause universelle, l'époque pousse à s'immerger dans les combats de l'heure, pour en capter l'exaltation collective. Le modèle de l'intellectuel sartrien paraîtra bien fade au regard de la frénétique volonté d'agir, même sans perspectives, qui dévore en France, à la veille de la guerre, nombre de gens de lettres. Jean - Michel Besnier montre ici à quel point Georges Bataille est exemplaire de cette volonté qui le destine, pense - t - il, à l'impossible. Son itinéraire connaît la violence des orages et l'obstination silencieuse des désirs. Les années trente sonnent le glas de " la volonté d'être tout " que philosophes hégéliens, marxistes et fascistes ont peu ou prou cultivée, jusqu'à l'absurde et au monstrueux. Jean - Michel Besnier présente et confronte dans ce livre les destins intellectuels de ceux qui ont donné à l'époque sa tonalité. L'auteur mêle l'histoire des idées, la critique philosophique de la notion d'engagement et la réflexion politique sur le rôle des intellectuels, offrant ainsi d'une période qui nous hante encore l'image d'un désarroi de combat.

Download or read book Georges Bataille written by Michel Surya and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Bataille was a philosopher, writer, librarian, pornographer and a founder of the influential journals Critique and Acphale. He has had an enormous impact on contemporary thought, influencing such writers as Barthes, Baudrillard, Derrida, Foucault and Sontag. Many of his books, including the notorious Story of the Eye and the fascinating The Accursed Share, are modern classics. In this acclaimed intellectual biography, Michel Surya gives a detailed and insightful account of Bataille's work against the backdrop of his life - his troubled childhood, his difficult relationship with Andr Breton and the surrealists and his curious position as a thinker of excess, 'potlatch', sexual extremes and religious sacrifice, one who nonetheless remains at the heart of twentieth century French thought-all of it drawn here in rich and allusive prose. While exploring the source of the violent eroticism that laces Bataille's novels, the book is also an acute guide to the development of Bataille's philosophical thought. Enriched by testimonies from Bataille's closest acquaintances and revealing the context in which he worked, Surya sheds light on a figure Foucault described as 'one of the most important writers of the century'.
