Summary: An exploration of value through excessive experience
Comment: The Tears of Eros is a fitting culmination of Bataille's search for value through excess. Although Bataille addresses many of the themes touched on here in greater detail in earlier works (Eroticism, The Accursed Share), The Tears of Eros is notable for the significant amount of artwork included to illustrate the connection Bataille develops between sex, death, expenditure, and sovereign value. This is a "must-read" for any serious student of contemporary philosophy and--for that matter--any who would insist that value resides elsewhere than in a petty, bourgeois individualism.

Rating: 5
Summary: Extraordinary treatment of sex and death, emotions and words
Comment: It is from woman, we come and to woman, we return because we all have both aspects in our being...female and maleness
