ABSTRACT
In ‘Euryopa: le regard au loin’, a short and dense text written in 1994, Jean-Luc Nancy approaches the philosophical question of Europe by way of an investigation of Europe’s vision, look, glance, seeing (regard).1 Europe, Nancy writes, ‘is the particular way of looking whose singular sighting [visée] is the universal as such’ (EU, 8). His concern, throughout the essay, is with Europe as ‘an idea of a vision’: with the particular way of looking that this idea implies, with this vision’s limits, as well as with the limits of vision itself.
