- The controversy between Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot regarding the uses and abuses of the concept of “community” has powerfully influenced recent debate in the humanities in Europe and the U.S.A., but has almost never been properly scrutinised. This 140,000 word monograph provides forensic examination of the philosophical, political, literary, and religious implications of Nancy’s and Blanchot’s extensive output as well as that of such other notoriously complex figures as Bataille, Heidegger, Mounier, Derrida, and Duras. It incorporates significant archival work, represents a sustained research effort covering multiple authors, and investigates their thinking in considerable historical and theoretical depth.
