Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism Hardback
Edited by Cosmin (Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Oxford, UK) Toma
Part of the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series
Hardback
Description
Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers.
His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it.
Within this plural framework, art – which he explicitly defines as a modern construct – plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to “our” experience of modernity.
The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy’s writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy’s signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.
