商品簡介
Nancy's work ranges from readings of philosophers such as Descartes and Kant to matches with moderns like Bataille and Derrida to critiques of the visual arts and literature to commentary on community and politics. James (French, Cambridge U.) takes on this apparent miscellany of 53 volumes and over 400 articles by focusing on Nancy's questions and his response to the demand imposed by the multiple and the fragmentary. James offers explanations of the core elements within Nancy's interconnected and yet independent ideas about subjectivity, space, body, community and art, making this a companion to the early exploration of Nancy's work rather than a roadmap. By doing so James is honest with his readers, many of whom probably will come to his volume frustrated by the inherent dishonesty of perfect order they and others have imposed.
