Continental philosophy, morality and the dialectic
Celebrating the tragi-comic result of God's death.
Note: Actually Bataille probably does reify "death" in a French formalistic way, which I think is misleading in terms of conveying Nietzsche's own spirit. However, in the same breath, Bataille does also insist that living is a process, as is thinking. The tendency of metaphysicians to look for END POINTS and to make these define the whole of reality (or rather, to give a particular meaning to reality as if they discovered a hidden "essence") has to be taken on and confronted as wrongheaded.
