Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A poetic, philosophical, and political account of Nietzscheâs importance to Bataille, and of Batailleâs experience in Nazi-occupied France.
Georges Bataille wrote On Nietzsche in the final months of the Nazi occupation of France in order to cleanse the German philosopher of the âstain of Nazism.â More than merely a treatise on Nietzsche, the book is as much a work of ethics in which thought is put to the test of experience and experience pushed to its limits. At once personal and political, it was written as an act of war, its publication contingent upon the German retreat. The result is a poetic and philosophicalâand occasionally harrowingârecord of life during wartime.
Following Inner Experience and Guilty, On Nietzsche is the third volume of Batailleâs Summa Atheologica. Haunted by the recognition that âexistence cannot be at once autonomous and viable,â herein the author yearns for community from the depths of personal isolation and transforms Nietzscheâs will to power into his own will to chance.
This new translation includes Memorandum, a selection of 280 passages from Nietzscheâs works edited and introduced by Bataille. Originally published separately, Bataille planned to include the text in future editions of On Nietzsche. This edition also features the full notes and annotations from the French edition of Batailleâs Oeuvres Complètes, as well as an incisive introductory essay by Stuart Kendall that situates the work historically, biographically, and philosophically.
Georges Bataille (1897â1962), a medievalist librarian by training, founded the College of Sociology and the secret society Acéphale. He was equally famous for his contributions to French literature, art criticism, anthropology, philosophy, and theology. Bane of theologians, existentialists, and surrealists during his lifetime, he became an essential reference for the poststructuralist generation of French intellectuals, including Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida.
