Sørensen's Bataille: Notes on the 'apolitical'

In: Filozofija i društvo, Band 32, Heft 1, S. 22-28

Abstract

In Capitalism, Alienation and Critique, part of the development of Asger
S?rensen?s overall argument is a disagreement with Georges Bataille. The
crux of the argument is that Bataille?s thinking - especially his conception
of subjectivity - is ?apolitical?. The aim of this paper is to investigate
the force of this claim. What does it mean for a position - albeit a
philosophical one - to be ?apolitical??
