The work of Jean-Luc Nancy has been taken up by writers ranging
from Jacques Derrida to Claude Lefort and all his major works have
been translated into English. As many struggle to find meaning at
the end of philosophy, 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 the reader 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. This volume explores this and other ideas in Nancy's work and
provides insights into one of the most contemporary philosophers
writing in the 20th century. The full range of Nancy's work as a
philosopher of the "contemporary" is considered, allowing us to see
his engagement with Hegel, Marx, Nietzche, Heidegger, Bataille and
Derrida.
