Death And Sensuality

Death and Sensuality: A Study of Eroticism and the Taboo is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between sex and death, written by the French author Georges Bataille. In this book, Bataille argues that eroticism is intimately tied to taboo and transgression, and that the experience of pleasure is often linked to the fear of death. He explores the ways in which eroticism can be both liberating and destructive, and how it can challenge traditional moral and social norms. Bataille draws on a range of sources, from anthropology and psychoanalysis to literature and art, to offer a provocative and insightful analysis of the human experience of desire and mortality. This book is a seminal work in the field of erotic philosophy and remains a challenging and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersections of sex, death, and taboo.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
