In his essay Toward General Economy, Stuart Kendall says that “[o]ur eyes and other senses serve as filters, selecting forms for perception from within the overwhelming chaos of reality. Our minds — or brains, if you prefer — synthesize these selective facts into the imaginary of a stable physical world, through which we may move and within which we may act”.[1] Does Georges Bataille hold this as his metaphysics? Does he hold that reality is a formless black mass that oscillates around the Sun, and which our synthetic cognition gives form?
