Jean-Luc Nancy and the Thinking of Otherness is the first book in English to provide a sustained account of the relationship between Nancy, Levinas and Heidegger. The work investigates Jean-Luc Nancy's reading of Heidegger, focusing on the question of Being-with. While opening the problem of otherness from within Heidegger, the research articulates a dialogue between Nancy and the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. With intellectual agility and command of cinema, literature and visual art, Daniele Rugo insists on the critical significance of Nancy's project for any future philosophy attempting to define itself beyond foundational acts and according to the continuous crossings at the heart of existence. In discussing Nancy alongside Heidegger and Levinas, Rugo underlines the essential indecision between philosophy as literature and philosophy as the naked re-appropriation of the question of Being. The work offers startling associations and unveils conceptual preoccupations in ways that constantly question the state of theory and its relation to the world. Jean-Luc Nancy and the Thinking of Otherness proposes to return thinking to the play of specificity, rather than restricting it to the passage of abstract formulations.
