SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The Delirium of Praise examines a group of five twentieth-century French intellectuals - Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Pierre Klossowski - and their laudatory essays about each other. Structured as a circular series of exchanges, the book examines pairings of two thinkers with respect to a given theme."--Jacket
