Book Description
Before now, Jean-Luc Nancy's contributions to legal and political theory have been largely overlooked and lacking the in-depth appraisal they deserve. In this unique collection, eighteen notable Nancy scholars contextualize Nancy's work in these areas within the broad corpus of his other concerns. By emphasizing the originality of his theories in a globalizing age, each distinctive chapter provides a new and valuable insight into Nancy's legal and political philosophy. Together with his work on sense, community and art, these cutting edge contributions examine Nancy's conceptions of justice, legality and world in conjunction with the interpretation and rationality of:
· The ontology of the event.
· The form of relationality.
· The effects of globalization.
· The importance of Christianity in contemporary legal and political theory.
Including a brand new essay by Nancy himself, this collection marks an important and timely step in a rich area of study.
