- Summary:
- Is there a "world" anymore, much less any "sense" to it? Acknowledging the lack of meaning in our time, and the lack of a world at the center of meanings we try to impose, Jean-Luc Nancy presents a rigorous critique of the many discourses--from philosophy and political science to psychoanalysis and art history--that talk and write their way around these gaping absences in our lives.
