A New Mysticism: Sartre’s Critique of Batailleʹʹs Inner Experience

The article, ‘A New Mysticism’ is a critique by Sartre of Bastille’s Inner Experience that focuses on the form and content of the book. This paper will verify aspects of this criticism and tries to show how far Start’s argumentation is rely able. I start with a rough distinguish that Sartre has made between literary and philosophical history, to identify Bastille’s style with the surrealist tradition; then I will continue to focus on his argumentation and criticism.
