The Possibility of a World: Conversations With Pierre-Philippe Jandin | by Jean-Luc Nancy | Pierre-Philippe Jandin | Travis Holloway | ‎ Fordham Univ Pr | ‎ English | ‎ 1st Edition

Product description Review The Possibility of a World presents Jean-Luc Nancy in dialogue, allowing unique access to his thought. The book is particularly concerned with the possibility of inhabiting the world--a world that has become an object of calculation and mastery. For Nancy, such a habitus entails an ethos, or an 'ethics of the world' that involves the re-creation of the world. In the context of his thinking of such an ethical habitus, Nancy continues, throughout the book, his inventive engagement with Heidegger's thought as well as his ongoing debate with Derrida. This new book is an important contribution to Nancy's rethinking of the world and sense.-----David Pettigrew, Southern Connecticut State University About the Author Jean-Luc Nancy is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Université Marc Bloch, Strasbourg.
