In the Translator's Preface to Bataille's Inner Experience Leslie Anne Boldt writes:
"We are babblers, when we limit our use of language to utilitarian ends, when we make it serviceable to the projects through which we sidestep our anxiety. This abuse of language mirrors the abuse which we make our existence: we have denatured it in removing from it any trace of the sacred, in our blind observance of the dictums of project and work."
If God is a dead object, what then? We become isolated subjects seeking autonomy.
What happens to the transcendent? Eroticism?
