Download or read book Sexistence written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, more than just a part of our experience, troubles our conceptions of existence. Drawing on a fascinating array of sources, ancient and modern, philosophical and literary, Jean-Luc Nancy explores and upholds the form-giving thrust of the drive. Nancy reminds us that we are more comfortable with the drama of prohibitions, ideals, repression, transgression, and destruction, which often hamper thinking about sex and gender, than with the affirmation of an originary trouble at the limits of language that divides being and opens the world. Sexistence develops a new philosophical account of sexuality that resonates with contemporary research on gender and biopolitics. Without attempting to be comprehensive, the book ranges from the ancient world through psychoanalysis to discover the turbulence of the drive at the heart of existence.
Book Synopsis The Deconstruction of Sex by : Jean-Luc Nancy
Download or read book The Deconstruction of Sex written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Deconstruction of Sex, Jean-Luc Nancy and Irving Goh discuss how a deconstructive approach to sex helps us negotiate discourses about sex and foster a better understanding of how sex complicates our everyday existence in the age of #MeToo. Throughout their conversation, Nancy and Goh engage with topics ranging from relation, penetration, and subjection to touch, erotics, and jouissance. They show how despite its entrenchment in social norms and centrality to our being-in-the-world, sex lacks a clearly defined essence. At the same time, they point to the potentiality of literature to inscribe the senses of sex. In so doing, Nancy and Goh prompt us to reconsider our relations with ourselves and others through sex in more sensitive, respectful, and humble ways without bracketing the troubling aspects of sex.
Book Synopsis Ontologies of Sex: Philosophy in Sexual Politics by : Zeynep Direk
Download or read book Ontologies of Sex: Philosophy in Sexual Politics written by Zeynep Direk and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ontologies of Sex: Philosophy in Sexual Politics considers the ontological presuppositions of feminist theories of sexual difference and brings them into conversation with phenomenological, ontological accounts of erotic experience. Erotic relation is a corporeal, intimate, and affective encounter with the other in which the subjects have the possibility of being revealed to themselves and to each other in who they are. In eroticism, law paradoxes, death, abjection, subjectivity, sovereignty, commitment, engagement, freedom are at stake. By inquiring into various types of analyzes of sexual oppression and different accounts of ethics of Eros, this book invites the reader to deepen their existential reflection on the significance of Eros for human life in general, and for political subjectivity in particular.
Book Synopsis Sense and Singularity by : Georges Van Den Abbeele
Download or read book Sense and Singularity written by Georges Van Den Abbeele and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical thinking is interrupted by the finitude of what cannot be named, on the one hand, and that within which it is subsumed as one of multiple modes of sense-making, on the other. Sense and Singularity elaborates Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophical project as an inquiry into the limits or finitude of philosophy itself, where it is interrupted, and as a practice of critical intervention where philosophy serves to interrupt otherwise unquestioned ways of thinking. Nancy’s interruption of philosophy, Van Den Abbeele argues, reveals the limits of what philosophy is and what it can do, its apocalyptic end and its endless renewal, its Sisyphean interruption between the bounds of infinitely replicating sense and the conceptual vanishing point that is singularity. In examinations of Nancy’s foundational rereading of Descartes's cogito as iterative, his formal experimentations with the genres of philosophical writing, the account of “retreat” in understanding the political, and the interruptive play of sense and singularity in writings on the body, sexuality, and aesthetics, Van Den Abbeele offers a fresh account of one of our major thinkers as well as a provocative inquiry into what philosophy can do.

Book Synopsis The Pulse of Sense by : Marie Chabbert
Download or read book The Pulse of Sense written by Marie Chabbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy’s thought: sense, experience, existence, and Christianity. In doing so, the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy’s sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English, i.e., everything to do with "meaning" and "the senses"; it also includes the "way" they are "conducted," the "direction" they take, the "thrust" or "pulse" in which the circulation of sense exists. Faithful to this plural understanding of sens, the writings collected here aim to join Jean-Luc Nancy in the process of "making-sense" that animates his thinking, rather than to deliver a definitive summary of his position on any given issue. They are conceived of as notes "along the way," documenting "encounters" as moments of "(re)direction" and recording the "pulse" of sense that animates them. In that spirit, Nancy himself has provided each contribution with an "echo" in which he, in turn, responds to each author and thereby continues their mutual encounter. Aside from these echoes, this volume includes an original essay in which Nancy reflects upon the international trajectory of his thinking; a trajectory that is to be and undoubtedly will be continued, in many different directions, across and around the world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.

Download or read book Noli Me Tangere written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian parables have retained their force well beyond the sphere of religion; indeed, they share with much of modern literature their status as a form of address: Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.There is no message without there first being-or, more subtly, without there also being in the message itself-an address to a capacity or an aptitude for listening. This is not an exhortation of the kind Pay attention!Rather, it is a warning: if you do not understand, the message will go away.The scene in the Gospel of John in which the newly risen Christ enjoins the Magdalene, Noli me tangere,a key moment in the general parable made up of his life, is a particularly good example of this sudden appearance in which a vanishing plays itself out. Resurrected, he speaks, makes an appeal, and leaves.Do not touch me.Beyond the Christ story, this everyday phrase says something important about touching in general. It points to the place where touching must not touch in order to carry out its touch (its art, its tact, its grace). The title essay of this volume is both a contribution to Nancy's project of a deconstruction of Christianityand an exemplum of his remarkable writings on art, in analyses of Noli me tangerepaintings by such painters as Rembrandt, Drer, Titian, Pontormo, Bronzino, and Correggio. It is also in tacit dialogue with Jacques Derrida's monumental tribute to Nancy's work in Le toucher-Jean-Luc Nancy.For the English-language edition, Nancy has added an unpublished essay on the Magdalene and the English translation of In Heaven and on the Earth,a remarkable lecture he gave in a series designed to address children between six and twelve years of age. Closely aligned with his entire project of the deconstruction of Christianity,'this lecture may give the most accesible account of his ideas about God.

Book Synopsis MahaDharma: the religion of human liberation from the darkness of ignorance! by : Maharshi MahaManas (Sumeru Ray)
Download or read book MahaDharma: the religion of human liberation from the darkness of ignorance! written by Maharshi MahaManas (Sumeru Ray) and published by MahaManan. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Manav Dharma' that is Basic natural Religion of human beings or Humanism. That religion is practiced spontaneously without any effort for mind-development and human development. The surest way to a better life. 'MahaDharma' is the embodiment of this abstract natural human religion~ 'Manav Dharma'. MahaDharma has emerged to bring people back to their normal religion for real human development and peace. Summary: “Because you have a conscious mind~ you are human. But your (conscious) mind is not yet developed enough. To become a well-developed human being, you need to develop this mind. And that is your primary religion." "You were born as a human being, so the first and foremost goal of your life is to become a full-fledged human being. With the goal of life: to know yourself and this worldly system, always try to be alert. Be diligent to make yourself a real and all-round developed human being.” "Whether you belong to a conventional religion by birth or intention, your first identity is that you are a human being. As a human being, your main and fundamental religion is natural human religion (ManavDharma). And this normal human religion is the MahaDharma. The main thing is to develop the human mind with overall well-being.” "We are here on an educational journey. Gaining high to higher consciousness is the underlying purpose of human life. Here, the more we become conscious through knowledge-experience, the more we will benefit. From a spiritual point of view, nothing will go with us when we leave here, except the consciousness." First of all we have to understand - what this 'MahaDharma' really is 'MahaDharma' is natural human religion, our basic religion - the religion of building people. This religion is not comparable to any other conventional religion. God and faith are not the foundation of this religion. It is based on logic and spiritual science (reasonable spirituality). MahaDharma is completely different from the conventional religions.

Book Synopsis Re-treating Religion by : Alena Alexandrova
Download or read book Re-treating Religion written by Alena Alexandrova and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most complicated and ambiguous tendencies in contemporary western societies is the phenomenon referred to as the "turn to religion." In philosophy, one of the most original thinkers critically questioning this "turn" is Jean-Luc Nancy. Re-treating Religion is the first volume to analyze his long-term project "The Deconstruction of Christianity," especially his major statement of it in Dis-Enclosure. Nancy conceives monotheistic religion and secularization not as opposite worldviews that succeed each other in time but rather as springing from the same history. This history consists in a paradoxical tendency to contest one's own foundations--whether God, truth, origin, humanity, or rationality--as well as to found itself on the void of this contestation. Nancy calls this unique combination of self-contestation and self-foundation the "self-deconstruction" of the Western world. The book includes discussion with Nancy himself, who contributes a substantial "Preamble" and a concluding dialogue with the volume editors. The contributions follow Nancy in tracing the complexities of Western culture back to the persistent legacy of monotheism, in order to illuminate the tensions and uncertainties we face in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Corpus written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have we thought “the body”? How can we think it anew? The body of mortal creatures, the body politic, the body of letters and of laws, the “mystical body of Christ”—all these (and others) are incorporated in the word Corpus, the title and topic of Jean-Luc Nancy’s masterwork. Corpus is a work of literary force at once phenomenological, sociological, theological, and philosophical in its multiple orientations and approaches. In thirty-six brief sections, Nancy offers us at once an encyclopedia and a polemical program—reviewing classical takes on the “corpus” from Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Paul to Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, and Freud, while demonstrating that the mutations (technological, biological, and political) of our own culture have given rise to the need for a new understanding of the body. He not only tells the story of this cultural change but also explores the promise and responsibilities that such a new understanding entails. The long-awaited English translation is a bold, bravura rendering. To the title essay are added five closely related recent pieces—including a commentary by Antonia Birnbaum—dedicated in large part to the legacy of the “mind-body problem” formulated by Descartes and the challenge it poses to rethinking the ancient problems of the corpus. The last and most poignant of these essays is “The Intruder,” Nancy’s philosophical meditation on his heart transplant. The book also serves as the opening move in Nancy’s larger project called “The deconstruction of Christianity.”
