Abstract

The essay focus on the subversive force that Bataille’s thought can transmit to our contemporaneity. A passion that we must live as a paradoxical pedagogy of the impossible that does not formulate theories, rules or precepts but teaches a different posture of thought. A profound lightness to enter existence without conditions or intentions, without building walls, identities and differences. Contagion: paradoxical communication between irreducible singularities, the secret of an impossible yet necessary being in common. Friendship is Bataille’s gift: a relationship of existence, the experience of a responsible complicity between subjects who sovereignly renounce placing themselves as aim for others and not making their actions a means to aims.
