In this rigorous and unsettling study, Boris Kriger reconstructs Georges Bataille’s vision of the sacred as a trembling border between reason and its own undoing. Moving beyond biography and commentary, the book situates Bataille’s thought within the crises of twentieth-century modernity—the collapse of transcendence, the exhaustion of eroticism, and the metamorphosis of sacrifice into aesthetics.

Entropy is one of the most profound and misunderstood concepts in modern science — at once a physical quantity, a measure of uncertainty, and a metaphor for the passage of time itself. Entropy: The Order of Disorder explores this concept in its full philosophical and scientific depth, tracing its evolution from the thermodynamics of Clausius and Boltzmann to the cosmology of the expanding universe, the information theory of Shannon, and the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

In a world defined by uncertainty, loss, and relentless change, the human spirit is tested as never before. Desperate Optimism explores the paradox at the heart of endurance: the power to hope, create, and act even when circumstances seem bleak, and outcomes are uncertain. It is neither naïve faith nor passive wishful thinking, but a deliberate, defiant choice to engage fully with life despite its fragility.
