Coming is a lyrical, erudite examination of the French notion of
jouissance. How did jouissance evolve from referring to the
pleasure of possessing a material thing (property, wealth) to the
pleasure of orgasm, from appropriation to dis-appropriation, from
consumption to consummation? The philosophers Adele van Reeth and
Jean-Luc Nancy engage in a lively dialogue, ranging from
consumerism to video games to mysticism and from Spinoza, Hegel,
andAugustine to the Marquis de Sade, Marguerite Duras, and Henry
Miller. Four additional essays are new to the American edition.
