Bataille Syllabus

"... it is not necessity but its contrary, "luxury", that presents living matter and mankind with their fundamental problems." - Georges Bataille, The Accursed Share: Volume 1 (Pg. 12) If we do not take scarcity as a primary condition of human and natural existence we become capable of reevaluating important political problems that determine our existence.
