It appears to be a work *by* Bataille, and is described as on the U Minn site as: "A deft reconstruction of what Georges Bataille envisioned as a continuation of his work La Somme Athéologique, this volume brings together the writings of one of the foremost French thinkers of the twentieth century on the central topic of his oeuvre. Gathering Bataille's most intimate writings, these essays, aphorisms, notes, and lectures on nonknowledge, sovereignty, and sacrifice clarify and extend Bataille's radical theology, his philosophy of history, and his ecstatic method of meditation." I'm curious if anyone has looked at it, and can tell us a bit more specifically what's there. > 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? "Ethics" is by Kropotkin, and continues the investigation from "Mutual Aid." The related text i've been refering to is M.(Jean-Marie) Guyau's "A Sketch of Morality Independent of Obligation or Sanction." -shawn > philip. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
