tammihiiri 's review for:
Eroticism
by Georges Bataille
I'm starting to believe that I just do not care for the big 20th century French philosophers.
I had a lot of thoughts while reading this, not all of them bad. There is no denying that this is the work of a brilliant mind, but while it does not lack in depth, it does in scope. Most of my criticism boils down to the criticism of this narrow-mindedness of which other reviewers here have already written at length and in more eloquent terms than I ever could.
In a way I wish Batiste would've been born 50 or even 100 years later so that we could read what a mind like his would've produced in a different world with a different educational background. Maybe he could've written something great that would actually stand the test of time. Most likely though, he would've just been as miserable and insufferable as he was now.
