{"product_id":"georges-bataille-rodolphe-gasch-9780804776073","title":"Georges Bataille: Phenomenology and Phantasmatology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates what Bataille, in \"The Pineal Eye,\" calls mythological representation: the mythological anthropology with which this unusual thinker wished to outflank and undo scientific (and philosophical) anthropology. Gasché probes that anthropology by situating Bataille's thought with respect to the quatrumvirate of Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud. He begins by showing what Bataille's understanding of the mythological owes to Schelling. Drawing on Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud, he then explores the notion of image that constitutes the sort of representation that Bataille's innovative approach entails. Gasché concludes that Bataille's mythological anthropology takes on Hegel's phenomenology in a systematic fashion. By reading it backwards, he not only dismantles its architecture, he also ties each level to the preceding one, replacing the idealities of philosophy with the phantasmatic representations of what he dubs \"low materialism.\" Phenomenology, Gasché argues, thus paves the way for a new \"science\" of phantasms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodolphe Gasché\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804776075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804776073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Rodolphe Gasché","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981261308159,"sku":"9780804776073","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c32dee1f-f460-4b29-8320-f6954a69b69e.jpg?v=1683254548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georges-bataille-rodolphe-gasch-9780804776073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
