Add 2nd endorsementAuthor approved‘The Nancy Dictionary opens many pathways into Nancy’s writings and their critical reception. Addressing the key concepts and thinkers associated with his work, the Dictionary offers an especially generous set of initiatives in which readers move in and between the numerous texts that compose the extraordinary reach of Nancy’s thinking.’Philip Armstrong, Ohio State UniversityThe first dictionary dedicated to the work of Jean-Luc NancyThe Nancy Dictionary presents a crucial introduction to this key figure in the contemporary intellectual landscape. It considers the full scope of his writing and provides insights into his philosophical and theoretical background in order to understand his key areas of focus on community, ontology, religion and aesthetics.Not merely a dictionary of terms, it also offers a guide to the key controversies in Nancy’s work by some of the most important scholars writing on Nancy today. In this way, The Nancy Dictionary provides both those who are new and those who are familiar with his work a place of entry into the lively debates over the fate of his work and of philosophy after deconstruction more generally.Peter Gratton is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Memorial University, Newfoundland.
