ABSTRACT

While Jean-Luc Nancy, a professor at the University of Strasbourg, has published an immense amount of work on his own, he is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. Their work together extends much of the discourse with Western metaphysics as reflected by Heidegger and Derrida's reading of Heidegger. While Nancy's general concerns are aesthetics, politics, and literature, his work is concerned with both literature and philosophy and the intersection at which they occur.
