在這門課程中，我們將閱讀喬治．巴代伊(Georges Bataille)寫作於上世紀50年代的《情色論》(L'Erotisme)一書。巴代伊博通當代各種學問資源：黑格爾、馬克思、尼采、精神分析、人類學、社會學，賦予此書以跨越學科藩籬的論述風格。希望藉著閱讀這本書，除了多方接觸不同學科的知識以外，並能培養在思想上越界的能力，一種思考到臨近意義/無意義邊緣的能力。

In this course we will read George. Georges Bataille wrote "L'Erotisme" in the 1950s. Badeibot draws on various contemporary cultural resources: Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, psychoanalysis, anthropology, and sociology, giving this book a narrative style that transcends disciplinary boundaries. I hope that by reading this book, in addition to having multiple exposures to knowledge from different disciplines, I can also cultivate the ability to transcend boundaries in thought, an ability to think close to the edge of meaning/meaninglessness.
