The Wicked Sacred

This thought-provoking audiobook explores Georges Bataille’s concept of the sacred as a fragile boundary between reason and self-destruction, situated within the crises of modernity. Boris Kriger examines Bataille’s works as a cohesive theology of limit, where transgression and violation reveal the sacred through a process of revelation and loss. Blending philosophical analysis with poetic reflection, the book investigates how themes like eroticism, waste, and death form a interconnected economy of excess, offering insights into contemporary metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics.
