Synopsis
Bataille uses his theory of excess to question the assumptions of conventional economics and to probe the nature of civilisation. Instead of scarcity, surplus energy becomes the key to understanding how societies organise themselves and what they value.
Readers interested in philosophy, economics, and cultural theory will find a dense and provocative account that brings ethics, aesthetics, and anthropology into one argument. It offers a distinctive introduction to Bataille’s thought and a challenge to mainstream ways of describing human life.
