Isi artikel

This work sets out to attack Bataille's assumption that life is essentially transient. Using Bergson's anti-teleological thought experiments, I hope to reveal the ludicrous paradoxes involved in seeing the essence of time in time's end. With Bergson, I demand that we consider time to be the whole of its flow. I insist that Bataille overestimates the importance that death has for living beings, and I affirm instead the intensity of lived time and ongoing experiences.
