概要

In this episode, I explore whether Georges Bataille can be read as a radical theologian precisely because he refuses to save God.


Drawing from Allan Stoekl’s essay “Bataille, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Death of God,” I contrast Teilhard’s vision of convergence and Omega with Bataille’s insistence that completion ends in rupture — that absolute knowledge collapses into nonknowledge.


Although I no longer identify as a Christian, I remain drawn to radical theology. Here, I wrestle with a tension I feel even within progressive theology: after rejecting a literal deity, do we still preserve a highest ground — a metaphysical guarantor — under another name?


Bataille’s atheism forces me to ask whether a truly radical theology must relinquish even that.


Not comfort.


But courage.
