This book examines Nancy's con-cept of community as it is presented in his two books \"The Sense of the World\" and \"The Inoperative Community\". To obviate both myth and nihilism, Nancy suggests a concept of community based on the ontology of event. At the same time, he proceeds from the ex-perience of addressing and exposing, which in fact exceeds this ontology. Moreover, it implies different ethical attitude - addressing\/ exposing and establishing ties with others instead of maintaining flowing identity (openness toward the coming). Therefore, Nancy's approach - in spite of his own intention - demonstrates the im-possibility of reducing community to ontology. Community calls for the deciding subject, the one who is not merely an effect of difference but devotes her- or himself to the very project of \"being-together\". The book is intended for those interested in philosophy, literary and political studies, as well as French studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586532458647,"sku":"9783639060829","price":4510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639060829.webp?v=1774964417","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/between-myth-and-nihilism-community-in-jean-luc-nancys-philosophy-9783639060829","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
