Reviews
"A serious book of political economy that also claims 'the sexual act is in time what the tiger is in space.' ... The Accursed Shareis a brilliant product of [Bataille's] loony-tunes coupling of critical genres: pseudo/antisurrealist manifestos, leftist political treatises, erotics, Hegel 'n' Nietzsche studies, mysticism, anthropology, and sun worship.

Synopsis
Most Anglo-American readers know Bataille as a novelist. The Accursed Share provides an excellent introduction to Bataille the philosopher. Here he uses his unique economic theory as the basis for an incisive inquiry into the very nature of civilization. Unlike conventional economic models based on notions of scarcity, Bataille's theory develops the concept of excess: a civilization, he argues, reveals its order most clearly in the treatment of its surplus energy. The result is a brilliant blend of ethics, aesthetics, and cultural anthropology that challenges both mainstream economics and ethnology., From the acclaimed French philosopher, intellectual, and novelist, a brilliant account of the social and economic costs of civilization In this important work, Georges Bataille uses his novel economic theory as the basis for an incisive inquiry into the very nature of civilization. He introduces here his concept of the accursed share , the surplus energy that any system, natural or cultural, must expend; it is this expenditure, according to Bataille, that most clearly defines a society. His examples include sacrifice among the Aztecs, potlatch among the Northwest Coast Indians, military conquest in Islam, and Buddhist monasticism in Tibet. In this way, Bataille proposes a theory of a "general economy" based on excess and exuberance that radically revises conventional economic models of scarcity and utility. A brilliant blend of economics and aesthetics, ethics and anthropology, The Accursed Share provides an excellent introduction to Bataille's philosophic work. It will be of particular interest not only to readers of his fiction and essays but also to cultural theorists, anthropologists, and economists of all schools.

- n***o (202)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen maandGeverifieerde aankoopI ordered two CD's by the same artist from this seller. I have yet to receive the second CD and the first one took way too long to get here. This seller is apparently some third-party seller that networks with other sellers to sell stuff. These CD's I bought are SOLD by Alibris Books, but don't come from Alibris Books. This particular disc came from a thrift store. I have NO IDEA where the second disc is coming from. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SELLER. Very frustrating.
