En sevdiğim yazarlardan biri, yine en sevdiğim yazarlardan biri üzerine yazdığı kitabında en sevdiğim yazarın peşinden, Kayıp Zamanın İzinde'n gidiyor.

Kanıyla yazıyor Bataille, çünkü onun hakkında ancak böyle yazılabileceğini söylüyor. Unutmayın, akıl ancak kendisiyle sınırlandırılabilir.

"ALDIRIŞSIZ BİR GEREKLİLİĞİ İÇİNDE TAŞIYAN BİLİNÇLİ BİR İNSAN BU DÜNYADA NE YAPABİLİR?" (sf.68)

Read this if you don't want to think. Bataille takes chance to be a 'key theme' inhabiting Nietzsche's work. By chance Bataille means non-goal oriented activity. Anything done for the sake of a goal is a project. Anything done without any reason at all is chance. The will to power is not the will to consume or the will to expand one's influence. The will to power, Bataille claims, is the will to live and live for no external goals at all. But this is problematic for as soon as our goal is to 'live without goals' we have subsumed chance within project.

Moreover, when we communicate, we risk ourselves. We risk ourselves because we never know how the other will respond; we do not even know who our interlocutor is . . . .

On Nietzsche is the third installment (of three) in Bataille's Summa Atheologica and it consists of journal entries Bataille made in 1944 while experimenting with chance and non-meaning.
