Georges Bataille: a mystic of the modern spirit, who does not aim for any salvation, a theologian without God, a philosopher who hates reason and the argumentation of logical reasoning, a lover of ecstasy, who does not hesitate to pass through pain in order to be shaken in the depths of the abyss. And this is the unique mark of the French author that is recorded in a privileged way in the Inner experience.

A genuine heir of Nietzsche, he will consider non-knowledge, the loss of meaning, the opening of the self beyond the illusory ego as the basic prerequisites of the spiritual experience. As he explores a world composed of anguish and ecstasy, he will realize that man is alone and mortal. An experience that is a journey to where man meets his own feasible limit. An experience that opens up to the unknown, and opens it, not to reach the nihilistic desert but to get lost in the labyrinth of the "unknown". No doctrine, no authority, no trust in words, since the goal is to find the hegemonic silence that unravels the continuity of articulate language within a being that is "incomprehensible", within a being that is "nowhere".
