About Jean-Luc Nancy

  • Jean-Luc Nancy (; French: [??~.lyk n?~si]; born 26 July 1940) is a French philosopher.
  • Nancy's first book, published in 1973, was Le titre de la lettre (The Title of the Letter, 1992), a reading of the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, written in collaboration with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe.
  • Nancy is the author of works on many thinkers, including La remarque spĂ©culative in 1973 (The Speculative Remark, 2001) on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Le Discours de la syncope (1976) and L’ImpĂ©ratif catĂ©gorique (1983) on Immanuel Kant, Ego sum (1979) on RenĂ© Descartes, and Le Partage des voix (1982) on Martin Heidegger.
  • In addition to Le titre de la lettre, Nancy collaborated with Lacoue-Labarthe on several other books and articles.
  • Nancy is credited with reopening the question of the ground of community and politics with his work La communautĂ© dĂ©soeuvrĂ©e (The Inoperative Community).
  • Blanchot and Agamben responded to this work with The Unavowable Community (1983) and The Coming Community (1983) respectively.
  • The only monograph that Jacques Derrida ever wrote on a contemporary philosopher is On Touching, Jean-Luc Nancy.
