Description - On Jean-Luc Nancy by Darren Sheppard
The work of Jean-Luc Nancy has been taken up by such writers as Jacques Derrida and all his major works have been translated into English. His writing has provided the impulse for contemporary philosophical debates around the questions of community, the political, and freedom. Situating his work in an explicitly contemporary context - the collapse of communism, the Gulf War, the former Yugoslavia - Nancy has forced us to rethink nothing less than what 'doing' philosophy entails. The result has been his theory of a loss of sense, which far from being catastrophic, allows us to think sense, art and community anew. The full range of Nancy's work as a philosopher of the contemporary is considered, allowing us to see his engagement with Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Bataille and Derrida. This collection makes it impossible to approach philosophy and its relation to the political without reference to Jean-Luc Nancy.
