The concept of community is tainted by the events of the twentieth
century, frequently appropriated by totalitarian regimes for the
purposes of exclusion and oppression. In this dialogue with Peter
Engelmann, philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy attempts to reframe community
as central to a reconceptualization of politics and democracy.
Observing that all our interactions are in some way shared
experiences, Nancy demonstrates that a common sense of life
precedes our existence as individuals: we can only truly make sense
of life in a plurality. Democracy is typically concerned with
establishing political unity, yet its greater task lies in
community: creating a space in which sense can realize itself and
circulate. This conversation with one of France's foremost thinkers
will be of great interest to all readers of contemporary philosophy
and political theory.
