    culture that is still not understood
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2016*

The book begins by printing letters that document an illness that became fatal for Georges Bataille as the book was printed, possibly in 1961, and Bataille died in 1962, while JFK was still living as President of the United States of America. A painting from thousands of years before of Joseph and Potiphar's wife reminds me of Vince Foster because Potiphar's wife held on to Joseph's robe to use it as evidence against Joseph to get him into prison in Egypt. Vince Foster escaped modern prisons by being deputy White House Counsel from January 2, 1993 until July 20, 1993, when travelgate and Whitewater wishes of the first lady had a vertiginous connection to his death. Asseveration of vertiginous ineptitude springs from an examination of page 53.the very structure of human beingsVeiled, in the face of oppositionsthat vertiginously disclose themselves,in these newly inaccessible depthswhich are, for me,"the extremes of the possible."Sade and Goya lived at the same time in France and Spain. The French kept Sade in prison for many years and Goya was living in a prison of deafness, which made him heedless of what everybody said about his pictures.

    An exploration of value through excessive experience
  

*by J***) on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 1999*

The Tears of Eros is a fitting culmination of Bataille's search for value through excess.  Although Bataille addresses many of the themes touched on here in greater detail in earlier works (Eroticism, The Accursed Share),  The Tears of Eros is notable for the significant amount of artwork included  to illustrate the connection Bataille develops between sex, death,  expenditure, and sovereign value.  This is a "must-read" for any  serious student of contemporary philosophy and--for that matter--any who  would insist that value resides elsewhere than in a petty, bourgeois  individualism.
