In Four Seminars, Heidegger reviews the entire trajectory of his
thought and offers unique perspectives on fundamental aspects of
his work. First published in French in 1976, these seminars were
translated into German with Heidegger's approval and reissued in
1986 as part of his Gesamtausgabe, volume 15. Topics considered
include the Greek understanding of presence, the ontological
difference, the notion of system in German Idealism, the power of
naming, the problem of technology, danger, and the event.
Heidegger's engagements with his philosophical
forebears-Parmenides, Heraclitus, Kant, and Hegel-continue in
surprising dialogues with his contemporaries-Husserl, Marx, and
Wittgenstein. While providing important insights into how Heidegger
conducted his lectures, these seminars show him in his maturity
reflecting back on his philosophical path. An important text for
understanding contemporary philosophical debates, Four Seminars
provides extraordinarily rich material for students and scholars of
Heidegger. -- Indiana University Press
What happens when something happens? In Thinking the Event, senior
continental philosophy scholar Francois Raffoul undertakes a
philosophical inquiry into what constitutes an event as event, its
very eventfulness: not what happens or why it happens, but that it
happens, and what "happening" means. If, as Leibniz posited, it is
true that nothing happens without a reason, does this principle of
reason have a reason? For Raffoul, the event always breaks the
demands of rational thought. Bringing together philosophical
insights from Heidegger, Derrida, Nancy, and Marion, Raffoul shows
how the event, in its disruptive unpredictability, always exceeds
causality, subjectivity, and reason. It is that "pure event," each
time happening outside or without reason, which remains to be
thought, and which is the focus of this work. In the final movement
of the book, Raffoul takes on questions about the inappropriability
of the event and the implications this carries for ethical and
political considerations when thinking the event. In the wake of
the exhaustion of traditional metaphysics, the notion of the event
comes to the fore in an unprecedented way, with key implications
for philosophy, ontology, ethics, and theories of selfhood.

Dominique Janicaud claimed that every French intellectual
movement-from existentialism to psychoanalysis-was influenced by
Martin Heidegger. This translation of Janicaud's landmark work,
Heidegger en France, details Heidegger's reception in philosophy
and other humanistic and social science disciplines. Interviews
with key French thinkers such as Francoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida,
Eliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc
Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further
reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy. An
intellectual undertaking of authoritative scope, this work
furnishes a thorough history of the French reception of Heidegger's
thought.
Identity: Fragments, Frankness is a rich and powerful essay on the
notion of identity and on how it operates in our contemporary
world. In contrast to the various attempts to cling to established
identities or to associate identity with dubious agendas, Nancy
shows that an identity is always open to alterity and its
transformations. Against cynical initiatives that seek to
instrumentalize the question of identity in an attempt to
manipulate sentiment against immigration, Nancy problematizes anew
the notions of identity, nation, and national identity. He seeks to
show that there is never a given identity but always an open
process of identification that retains an exposure to difference.
Thus identity can never operate as a self-identical subject, such
as "the French." Ultimately, for Nancy, one does not have an
identity but has to become one. One can never return to a self-same
identity but can only seek to locate oneself within difference and
singularity. Nancy shows the impasse of a certain conception of
identity that he calls the "identity of the identifiable," which
refers to some permanent, given, substantial identity. In
opposition to such identity, Nancy offers the identity of whatever
or whoever invents itself in an open process of exposure to others
and internal difference. Hence, an identity is never given but
"makes itself by seeking and inventing itself." One does not have
an identity, but is an identity. Identity is an act, not a state.
This important book will provide much-needed philosophical
clarification of a complex and strategic notion at the center of
many current events and discussions.

In this first English translation of a classic text by one of the
foremost commentators on Lacan's work, Nasio eloquently
demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory,
even in its most difficult or obscure moments.
Five Lessons on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Jacques Lacan is
the first English translation of a classic text by one of the
foremost commentators on Lacan's work. Juan-David Nasio makes
numerous theoretical advances and eloquently demonstrates the
clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory, even in its most
difficult or obscure moments. What is distinctive, in the end,
about Nasio's treatment of Lacan's theory is the extent to which
Lacan's fundamental concepts -- the unconscious, jouissance, and
the body -- become the locus of the overturning or exceeding of the
discrete boundaries of the individual. The recognition of the of
the implications of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, then, brings the
analyst to adopt what Nasio calls a "special listening".
Francois Raffoul approaches the concept of responsibility in a
manner that is distinct from its traditional interpretation as
accountability of the willful subject. Exploring responsibility in
the works of Nietzsche, Sartre, Levinas, Heidegger, and Derrida,
Raffoul identifies decisive moments in the development of the
concept, retrieves its origins, and explores new reflections on it.
For Raffoul, responsibility is less about a sovereign subject
establishing a sphere of power and control than about exposure to
an event that does not come from us and yet calls to us. These
original and thoughtful investigations of the post-metaphysical
senses of responsibility chart new directions for ethics in the
continental tradition."
Martin Heidegger is one of the twentieth century's most important
philosophers, and now also one of the most contentious as
revelations of the extent of his Nazism continue to surface. His
ground-breaking works have had a hugely significant impact on
contemporary thought through their reception, appropriation and
critique. His thought has influenced philosophers as diverse as
Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Arendt, Adorno, Gadamer, Levinas, Derrida
and Foucault, among others. In addition to his formative role in
philosophical movements such as phenomenology, hermeneutics and
existentialism, structuralism and post-structuralism,
deconstruction and post-modernism, Heidegger has had a
transformative effect on diverse fields of inquiry including
political theory, literary criticism, theology, gender theory,
technology and environmental studies. The Bloomsbury Companion to
Heidegger is the definitive textbook to Heidegger's life and work,
in fifty-nine original essays written by an international team of
leading Heidegger scholars. This new edition presents comprehensive
coverage of Heidegger life and contexts, sources, influences and
encounters, key writings, major themes and topics, and reception
and influence, and includes a chapter addressing the controversial
Black Notebooks, National Socialism, and Antisemitism. This is the
ideal research tool for anyone studying or working in the field of
Heidegger Studies today.

Translation of a French text published in 1992 by +ditions Rivages.

practical import of Lacan's theory. Topics include the linguistic

In "The Book of Love and Pain, Juan-David Nasio offers the first
exclusive treatment of psychic pain in Freudian and Lacanian
psychoanalytic literature. Using insights gained from more than
three decades as a practicing psychoanalyst, Nasio addresses the
limits faced by the analyst in attempting to think and treat pain
psychoanalytically. He suggests that while pain is about separation
and loss, "psychic pain is intensified by paradoxical
overinvestment in the lost loved one. Included are discussions of
the pain of mourning, the pain of "jouissonce, unconscious pain,
pain as an object of the drive, pain as a form of sexuality pain
and the scream, and the pain of silence. In offering a
phenomenological description of psychic pain, The Book of Love and
Pain fills a gaping void in psychoanalytic research and will play
an important role in our understanding of the human psyche.
The essays gathered here explore the relationship between German
phenomenology and the French Cartesian tradition and how productive
this encounter has been. Among the philosophers under discussion
are Levinas, Beaufret, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Derrida,
Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Deleuze, Irigaray, Zarader, Greisch and
Dastur.
