The chapters are organized to form a coherent arc with successive pairs of chapters providing elegant supplements to one another and bringing out certain thematic issues in Nancy's work (worlding, his relation to phenomenology, metaphysics). The topics are also carefully chosen, adding new dimensions on Nancy and extending previous scholarship on him in novel and thought-provoking ways.\"--\u003cb\u003eNaomi Waltham-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e, Author of \u003ci\u003eShattering Biopolitics: Militant Listening and the Sound of Life\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume focuses on the relational aspect of Jean-Luc Nancy's thinking.
