The Birth to Presence and the Presence to Birth,
By
This review is from: The Birth to Presence (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) (Hardcover)
Jean-Luc Nancy is one of the leading philosophers in Europe today. What one encounters in his work is an intensity of thought, a path of thinking, that reaches into the question of birth and presence. Together with his other works such as The Sense of the World, Being Singular Plural, this constitutes one of those "must-reads" for students of continental philosophy.
