Derrida, Supplements

Jean-Luc Nancy (1940-2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Universite de Strasbourg and one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century's foremost thinkers of politics, art, and the body. His wide-ranging thought runs through many books, including Being Singular Plural, The Ground of the Image, Corpus, The Disavowed Community, and Sexistence. His book The Intruder was adapted into an acclaimed film by Claire Denis. Anne O'Byrne is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Stony Brook University. She is the author of Natality and Finitude (Indiana, 2010), coeditor of Logics of Genocide (Routledge, 2020), and translator or cotranslator of four books by Jean-Luc Nancy.

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"
