Reviews
...the writer has developed a unique interpretation of subjectivity and experience as a critical basis for rethinking community ... It is impossible not to be impressed by a book in which nothing, from the poetics of the writing to the final proposition, is overemphasized or strained. - Social & Legal Studies ...recently translated into English ... the book reframes a question from earlier days; what does it mean to exist with others in a world whose disparate global parts are increasingly being brought together and unified? - The Kelvingrove Review Graced by a lucid introduction from his superb translators, Jean-Luc Nancy's The Creation of the World or Globalization plots the creative world-forming possibilities by which, in the name of a certain justice, the nihilism of globalization may be resisted. The future of the world hangs in the balance; Nancy makes a brilliant contribution to thinking new beginnings. - David Wood, author of The Step Back: Ethics and Politics after Deconstruction
