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 been lead to the seeking of limit experiences as a sort of mysticism. A limit experience breaks the subject from itself. The idea is associated with Georges Bataille, Rod Hinn, Maurice Blanchot, and Michel Foucault.
