"Jean-Luc Nancy is one of the leading contemporary thinkers in France today. Through an inventive reappropriation of the major figures in the continental tradition, Nancy has developed an original ontology that impacts the way we think about religion, politics, community, embodiment, and art. Drawing from a wide range of his texts, Marie-Eve Morin provides a comprehensive and systematic account of Nancy's thinking, all the way up to his most recent work on the deconstruction of Christianity. Without losing sight of the heterogeneity of Nancy's work, Morin presents a concise articulation of the organizing concrete which structure Nancy's body of work. The guiding thread is that of an essential rift at the heart of any 'self', which simultaneously exposes it both to itself and to others. Nancy's ontology undercuts dichotomies between individual and community, interior and exterior, matter and spirit, thing and thought, and thereby seeks to open a thinking of the 'limit' or the 'edge' as the locus of sense. While Nancy's work has often been presented in relation to Heidegger or Derrida, Morin demonstrates its originality and argues that, despite the variety of its preoccupations and topics, it possesses its own rigorous internal logic. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of philosophy and related fields who seek a systematic and critical understanding of one of the most original contemporary thinkers""--Page 4 of cover.
