Inner Experience (French: L'expérience intérieure) is a 1943 book by Georges Bataille, his first lengthy philosophical treatise. It was followed by Guilty (1944) and On Nietzsche (1945). Together, the three works constitute Bataille's Summa Atheologica, which explores the experience of excess, expressed in forms such as laughter, tears, eroticism, death, sacrifice and poetry.
