Shawn,

This Bataille publication that you mention "Unfinished System of Nonknowledge" - it is a work 'on' Bataille or 'by' him (ie - a publication of previously unpublished material, as they have been doing a lot with Benjamin and others, recently)? 

Also, you were talking about a work entitled "Ethics", in relation to the Kropotkin discussion a while back ... do you remember this? If so, what was the name of the author?

 philip.
