{"product_id":"understanding-nancy-understanding-modernism-cosmin-toma-9781501370168","title":"Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism","description":"Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers. His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely \"immersed\" in modernity, as he puts it. Within this plural framework, art - which he explicitly defines as a modern construct - plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to \"our\" experience of modernity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy's writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy's signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosmin Toma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501370162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501370168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Cosmin Toma","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233129189631,"sku":"9781501370168","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_765f715f-bf33-41b4-8796-77b5f56c89b5.jpg?v=1728992152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-nancy-understanding-modernism-cosmin-toma-9781501370168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
