But he is equally influential as an incisive reader of philosophy through his enigmatic interpretations of Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault and Derrida. Leslie Hill offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to one of the key figures in the developmen...

Examining the work of Georges Bataille, Pierre Klossowski, and Maurice Blanchot together for the first time, this pioneering study explores their response to a double challenge: that of assuming the burden of philosophy while at the same time affirming the shadows, spirits, and specters that go under the name of literature.
