This collection of essays presents some of the key issues at the
heart of Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy's work. This
volume offers perspectives on the relationship between philosophy
and the political. The authors ask if we can talk of an a priori
link between the philosophical and the political; they investigate
the significance of the "figure" - the human being as political
subject - in the history of metaphysics; and they inquire how we
can "re-treat" the political today in the face of those who argue
that philosophy is at an "end". This text brings together some of
their responses to these investigations. We see as a result some of
the key motifs that have characterized their work: their debt to a
Heideggerian pre-understanding of philosophy, the centrality of the
"figure" in western philosophy and the totalitarianism of both
politics and the political.
