What is the author's style in Erotism: Death & Sensuality by Georges Bataille?

Bataille presents himself as a socio/sexual philosopher of sorts, there is not a great deal to indicate whether his intentions and curiosities spring from academic, intellectual, or personal curiosity and/or insight. The only indication of his reasons for writing is found early in the Introduction, in which he makes clear his intention to discuss the subject of eroticism as freely as possible from the influences of both scientific method and Christian teaching, both of which he finds limiting. In other words, he is writing from a place of intending to transgress taboos, in this case injunctions against thinking of eroticism as anything other than shallow titillation and/or a gateway to physical and spiritual corruption.
