Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the
most celebrated contemporary philosophers. His remarkably diverse
body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian
ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart
transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is
entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it. Within this plural
framework, art - which he explicitly defines as a modern construct
- plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which
he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general,
particularly as they relate to "our" experience of modernity. The
contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully
delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored
modernism of Nancy's writings on philosophy and the arts through
close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the
relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In
addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section
consists of an extended glossary of Nancy's signature terms, which
will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.
