ISBN-13: 9780415056076, 978-0415056076. The Thirst for Annihilation is the first book in English to respond to Bataille's writings. Cultural modernity is diagnosed down to its Kantian bedrock with its transcendental philosophy of the object, but Bataille's writings cut violently across this tightly disciplined reading to reveal the strong underlying currents that bear us towards chaos and dissolution - the violent impulse to escape, the thirst for annihilation.
