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.
Famous quotes containing the word experience:
“Over and over again, her own direct experience teaches a woman that when she does enough for herself, she feels better and better about her child. When she does too much for too long for her child, she feels harassed and drained. But over and over again, she lapses into doing too much.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
