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
Jean-Luc Nancy (1940–2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Université Marc Bloch, Strasbourg. His wide-ranging thought runs through many books, including Being Singular Plural, The Ground of the Image, Corpus, The Disavowed Community, and Sexistence. His “The Intruder” was adapted into a film by Claire Denis.
