A limit-experience is a type of action or experience which approaches the edge of living in terms of its intensity and its seeming impossibility. This approach has led to the seeking of limit experiences as a sort of dark mysticism.〔Elisabeth Roudinesco, ''Jacques Lacan'' (2005) p. 166〕 A limit experience breaks the subject from itself. The idea is associated with Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, and Michel Foucault. Classical instances of limit experiences include abandonment, fascination, suffering, madness, and poetry.〔Gary Gutting ed., ''The Cambridge Companion to Foucault'' (2007) p. 366〕 ==Bataille== Working in a French tradition of abjection〔J. Childers/G. Hentzi, ''The Columbia Encyclopedia of Modern Literary and Cultural Criticism'' (1995) p. 1〕 reaching back to Baudelaire and his paradoxes - "O filthy grandeur! O sublime disgrace!"〔Quoted in Boris Cyrulnik, ''Resilience'' (2009) p. 24〕 - Bataille was early struck by what he saw as "the fact that these two complete contrasts were identical - divine ecstasy and extreme horror".〔Roudinesco, p. 122〕 He went on to challenge surrealism with a kind of anti-idealism searching for what he called the impossible by breaking rules until you reached something beyond all rules.〔Roudinesco, p. 125〕 In this way, he strove for what Foucault would call "the point of life which lies as close as possible to the impossibility of living, which lies at the limit or the extreme".〔Michel Foucault, "The 'Experience Book'," in Remarks on Marx: Conversations with Duccio Trombadori, trans. R. James Goldstein and James Cascaito (York: Semiotext(e), 1991 ), 30–31〕 It was at the edge of limits where the ability to comprehend experience breaks down that Bataille sought to live.〔B.
