On Nietzsche by Georges Bataille

On Nietzsche by Georges Bataille

Takes up Nietzschean thought where Nietzsche left off - with the death of God. Written against the backdrop of Germany under the Third Reich the book explores the possibility of a spiritual life outside religion. In so doing it weaves an astonishing tapestry of confession, theology, philosophy, myth and eroticism.

Georges Bataille (1897-1962) was an essayist, poet, novelist and philosopher and is a crucial figure in the formation of contemporary avantgarde thought. He was associated with the surrealists in the 1920s and 30s. His books include the erotic masterpiece The Story of the Eye and The Accursed Share.
