Baphomet (Old Edition)

Klossowski's combinatin of theological, metaphysical,eroticism and irony is well worked in this page turner of Templar myth. Klossowski's fanciful concept of the "breaths" of Templars long past gathering on the anniversary of the torment and execution of their Grand Master and revisiting the very iniquities and blasphemies that they were force to admit to by a corrupt church and government. The mystical journey Klossowski takes his readers on is pure thrill. You will meet the Grand Master as a hornet, Nietzsche in the body of an anteater, the author himself as the confessor and a cast worthy of a Fellini movie. Foucault said that: "The theory of the 'breaths' in Klossowski's Baphomet is related, for who knows how many aspects, to the entirety of Western philosophy". A good good read and should have a place in anyones library

a classic. oui, chef d'oeuvre. every american christian should read this. will affect your faith if you are centrifugal-centric..........centripetal types, please avoid and pray for your mythic "rapture" to come ("o end of days........."!!!!)
