Derrida, Supplements
Jean-Luc Nancy
(Author)
Anne O'Byrne
(Translator)
Description
When Jean-Luc Nancy first encountered the work of Jacques Derrida in the 1960s, he knew he was hearing something new, a voice genuinely of its time. Thinking with and against each other over the course of their long friendship, the two thinkers reshaped the European intellectual landscape. Nancy's writings on Derrida, collected in this volume, reflect on the elements of their shared concerns with politics, the arts, religion, the fate of deconstruction, and the future of sense. Rather than studies, commentaries, or interpretations of Derrida's thought, they are responses to his presence-not exactly a presence to self, but a presence in the world.

Reviews
Nancy's text fascinates because it is not simply an analysis, a text written on or about Derrida, but also an act of memory, a testimonial to a life lived.-- "Marc Redfield, Brown University"
Derrida, Supplements provides 'new access' not only to the work of Jacques Derrida but also to what deconstruction will have meant to Jean-Luc Nancy, that is, to one of the twentieth century's great thinkers of politics, of plurality, and of the community.-- "Elizabeth Rottenberg, DePaul University"
