Jean-Luc Nancy and Plural Thinking: Expositions of World, Ontology, Politics, and Sense: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Jean-Luc Nancy and Plural Thinking: Expositions of World, Ontology, Politics, and Sense" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Jean-Luc Nancy is one of the leading voices in European philosophy of the last thirty years, and he has influenced a range of fields, including theology, aesthetics, and political theory. This volume offers the widest and most up-to-date responses to his work, oriented by the themes of world, finitude, and sense, with attention also given to his recent project on the deconstruction of Christianity. Focusing on Nancys writings on globalization, Christianity, the plurality of art forms, his materialist ontology, as well as a range of contemporary issues, an international group of scholars provides not just inventive interpretations of Nancys work but also essays taking on the most pressing issues of today. The collection brings to the fore the originality of his thinking and points to the future of continental philosophy. A previously unpublished interview with Nancy concludes the volume.
This invaluable collection engages with the full range of Nancys philosophical concerns to offer a series of enriching and highly illuminating critical perspectives. It demonstrates the importance of Nancys work for philosophical reflection on the contemporary world. Ian James, author of The Fragmentary Demand: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Jean-Luc Nancy

INTRODUCTION
Peter Gratton and Marie-Eve Morin
In On the Commerce of Thinking: Of Books and Bookstores, Nancy provides an apt meditation on what it means to read in a world in which books have become status symbols and often sit without disturbing us (in the strong sense) on coffee tables and library shelves. Beyond the commodity fetishism of the object, long gone are the days in which the world itself was thought to be a great book (OC, 23). This loss of the importance of books, Nancy argues, has meant that we risk missing the new stakes, new sense or lost sense, unique to each work of writing, senses that would bind and unbind us in our reading. In order to do so, what is required is a play of opening and closing in reading by which a book becomes the subject of a reading (OC, 3536). The closing of the book refers to the new, literally the unedited (indit), that remains forever illegible to the eyes that scan and remain open onto each page, that is, to what can never be captured synoptically in each reading (OC, 27).
No doubt, all introductions to books like this one are metonymic of the appeal by books in general: calling on the reader to proceed further, to move on to the essays in order to take in what has been left all-too-unedited or what is new (indit) in this very book. Nancy notes,
