This thesis aims to explore the problem of inner experience involved in Georges Bataille’s approach. This work focuses on the Atheological summa and discusses the inner experience as experience that denies the external authority, i.e. as sovereign experience. For Bataille, the authority of the inner experience is the own experience, but the authority expiates itself. The experience is a constant movement of dogma’s contestation and the subject that lives by this contestation is a subject of the anguish and ecstasy’s limits. As Foucault claims in his Preface to the transgression, the Bataille’s inner experience is a limit-experience, the excess commands the experience that is the experience of a subject loss. Thus, Bataille’s thought is a critique of Hegel’s negativity, because the negation of inner experience is useless negativity. Bataille wanted to think a philosophy opposite to Hegel’s, a philosophy that puts itself into the discursive question. The writing about the inner experience reflects the hard quest to discuss the experience that escapes from the discursive forms. Answering the experience discourse difficulties, Bataille does some operation in the essence of language, like figurations and evocations of some images in order to expose a lacerated subject through altered discursive forms. Furthermore, we claim in this thesis to discuss the eroticism as a manifestation of the inner experience and body inscription into the field of the desire violence, covering the concepts of transgression and prohibitions, or transgression and limits.
