We can’t thank Stuart Kendall enough for his priceless translations of Bataille’s work. It’s amazing how clearly he can explain Bataille’s body of thought. Great content, thank you!
This was absolutely incredible. By far the most fascinating and captivating philosophy video I've seen on RUclips. Stuart Kendall was so generous with the care that he put into his answers and thank you acid horizon for facilitating this and asking great questions and focusing these truly radical aspects and moments of the great philosophers you cover. 🖤
Bataille gave his dead mother quite the accursed share. Did the act begin in Nietzschean effervescence and end in the sobriety of praxis or vice-versa?
Bataille references “dance” often … why is dance not posited as the “miracle” that writing cannot achieve? Dance incinerates itself. I mean non-choreography. Acephale should have been a dance company. Also to add … dance is to copula’s own ipseite
Instead of parsing transgressive esotericism in search of a concept that we can harness to effectively address a problem like climate change, wouldn't the event itself, given its exigency, furnish its own utility with which to build a community?
@@cosmo7495 He leveraged more criticism against Socialists than Socialism and, if I'm being honest, as a Socialist, he's often not wrong. His big argument is that Socialists valorize the opressed and vilianize the oppressor which is just moralism and therefor trash to Nietzsche. Instead Nietzsche calls on man to reconsider all moral and intellectual dogma and to not just create a new man but to create a new systems of living that will create a higher, fuller, more exceptional human beings. Ironically, there are many parallels to that exact thought in Marx: particularly in Socialism Scientific and Utopian where Marxs talks at lengths about how the earnest sentiment and moralism of most Socialists cannot effect change and only a radical restructuring of our economic and social order can create lasting improvements.
I see great promise in validating Georges Batallie's Nietzscheanism from the standpoint of Christian-socialist eschatology when it is put in conversation with the Nietzschean hyperlogic of René Girard and François Laruelle. This seems like an obscure idea still unfortunately.
That and his kinda bitter pushback against the questions that were aiming to open the discussion up to a dialogue with Marxism were to me the only moments I was little disappointed in. But overall I thought his expert discussion of bataille's work and life was really excellent and that he really made a point of not stopping at any superficial presentation of B's concepts
Great talk Just listened to your Solar Anus reading HIs "vision" might have bee a mushroom trip (and yes i checked,, they didn't have ketamine back then)

Loved Stuart’s translation of Guilty, thanks so much for having him on!
great convo guys
Stuart's explanation of Nietzsche was perfect. Thank you 🌞
Glad it was helpful!
This might be the best Acid Horizon episode opening music yet
first. excited for this one.
Wow this is great, Stuart Kendall is so good
great discussion! what is the music that closes out this episdoe (at the very end)?
Amazing, such valuable insights, thank you guys so much for this and the other interviews.
Our pleasure!

Are we human, or are we dancer? Sorry,I had to.
Why not both?
acid horizon? anything to do with LSD? did Bataille drop acid?
So good!
I feel like Stirner’s work has a lot of interplay here with Bataille and Nietzsche here.
I agree. The concept of 'NOTHING' in The Accursed Share Vol. 3 is too close to 'the creative nothing'.
You should try to get Benjamin Noys on, I feel like he has a much different take on Bataille

I cant remember which book but I believe Nietzsche has a quote where he states that Capitalism is the cruelest political system yet seen.
Is that so? He was very obviously against socialism and predicted its downfall.

Cool shit, my dudes!

again - Bataille needed an instant composition dance ensemble to become successful with the difference … so many references to dance in the writings …
You should’ve stopped Stuart at the hegelian triplicity misconception.

As a leftist you loves nietzche and sees the passion I love Batailles def of communism being the tyranny and supremacy of rationalism
In current times and where we are heading...Nietzche all the way. But I need to listen 😅
Kid A font represent
Great talk
Just listened to your Solar Anus reading
