"Long recognized as a masterpiece of Nietzsche scholarship, Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle is made available here for the first time in English. Taking a structuralist approach to the relation between Nietzsche's thought and his life, Pierre Klossowski emphasizes the centrality of the notion of Eternal Return (a cyclical notion of time and history) for understanding Nietzsche's propensities for self-denial, self-refutation, and self-co ..."

Such a Deathly Desire(1stEdition) (SUNY Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy) by PierreKlossowski, Russell Ford Paperback, 162 Pages, Published 2007 by Suny Press ISBN-13: 978-0-7914-7196-8, ISBN: 0-7914-7196-9
"Provocative essays on language, literature, and the aesthetics of embodiment. Shocking, brilliant, and eccentric, the French author, translator, and artist Pierre Klossowski (1905–2001) exerted a profound effect on French intellectual culture throughout the twentieth century. The older brother of the painter Balthus, secretary to the novelist André Gide, friend to Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot, and heralded as one of the most im ..."
Sade My Neighbor(1stEdition) (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy) by PierreKlossowski, Alphonso Lingis Hardcover, 144 Pages, Published 1991 by Northwestern University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-0957-5, ISBN: 0-8101-0957-3
"Enlightenment ideals of a society rooted in liberationist reason and morality were trampled in the wake of the savagery of the Second World War. That era's union of cold technology and ancient hatreds gave rise to a dark, alternative reason--an ethic that was value-free and indifferent with regard to virtue and vice, freedom, and slavery. In a world where "the unthinkable" had become reality, it is small wonder that theorists would turn ..."

"Like the works of Georges Bataille, and those of the Marquis de Sade before him, Klossowski's erotic fiction explores the connections between the mind and body. This pair of short novels merges the sexual misadventures of Octave, his striking young wife Roberte, and their nephew Antoine, with Klossowski's philosophical and theological concerns. Roberte Ce Soir is a dramatic enactment of Octave's ritual of hospitality in which Roberte of ..."
Roberte Ce Soir(1stEdition) by PierreKlossowski, A. Wainhouse Hardcover, 214 Pages, Published 1971 by Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd ISBN-13: 978-0-7145-0743-9, ISBN: 0-7145-0743-1
"Together these two novels comprise the most fascinating, obsessive, and erotic works of contemporary Frech fiction."
"La moneda viva es un texto que resume, quizás como ningún otro, un pensamiento que muchos autores (especialmente Bataille, pero también el propio Foucault, que lo celebra en una carta al autor como el libro más importante de la época) intuyeron y no se atrevieron a formular, pues ponía en solfa la mayoría de las certezas sobre el deseo y el cuerpo que habían alimentado la literatura y la vida durante siglos. Sade fue el primero en adver ..."
"La historia de la comunidad Acéphale sigue aún hoy rodeada de misterios.

"Geld, sagt man, ist totes Metall - und beeilt sich, die Sphäre des Geldes sorgfältig vom Bereich der unersetzlichen Lebewesen zu trennen. Der Gedanke, daß auch das menschliche Leben einen Preis haben könnte, oder stärker noch daß es selbst Geldcharakter haben könnte, ist das vielleicht nachhaltigste Gedankentabu in einer weithin enttabuisierten Gesellschaft. Genau hier aber liegt der Ausgangspunkt, von dem aus Klossowski die Frage des G ..."
"Precisamente cuando se cumplen los cuatrocientos años de la firma del Edicto de Nantes (por el que Enrique IV de Francia regulaba la condición legal de la Iglesia reformada, poniendo fin así a la guerra de religiones), sacamos a la luz un libro profundamente herético (y erótico) que ejemplifica la imposible tregua, seguida de la revocación del edicto, en los escandalosos actos de su protagonista, Roberte, personaje principal de la céleb ..."
