"Multiple Arts is filled with inexplicit connections, surprises, and openings—a most notable contribution"—Henry Sussman, SUNY, Buffalo
"These essays are a welcome contribution to the body of Nancy's work that now exists in English. They demonstrate with clarity and rigor the manner in which, for Nancy, the multipplicity of the arts never ceases to touch on, or to expose, the multiplicity of finite worldy existence." —Philosophy in Review/Comptes Rendus Philosophiques
