Pick Up Bataille, Klossowski, Blanchot: Writing At The Limit Envisioned By Leslie Hill Issued As EPub

very interesting study about limits, but I would say limits takes more of a backforeground rather than be explicitly elucidated except in a few key areas which support her thesis.


It seems, among other things, limits were thought about philosophy, literature, language, and sacrifice, and since they talk about death which Blanchot seems to think is connected to literature kind of like how bataille thinks eroticism is connected to transgression or death that's another limit that's expanded upon.
It was a really interesting read, and I generally prefer Bataille as a thinker to the other two, but I found the Klossowski and Blanchot chapter especially good, particularly the Klossowski.
I don't know much about him, have only read the Baphomet, but his thought seems fascinating, I'm getting more and more into Blanchot and I think he is supplanting Bataille for my favorite "shadow of poststructuralist" philosopher.


The book itself could get a little jargony but it was never incomprehensible and I felt like I got the gist of what Hill was saying without having to reread multiple times.
In other words, for the depth of the topic Hill is dealing with, they do a great job of making it as accessible and readable as can be You could probably read this without really knowing anything about any of thephilosophers she talks about though you might get more out of it if you do.
Examining the work of Georges Bataille, Pierre Klossowski, and Maurice Blanchot together for the first time, this pioneering study explores their response to a double challenge: that of assuming the burden of

philosophy while at the same time affirming the shadows, spirits, and specters that go under the name of literature.
