The Muses by Jean-Luc Nancy
This analysis of art and its modes of existence by a contemporary French philosopher begins with an essay that introduces the principal concern sustained in the four succeeding ones.
“A truly exhilarating set of philosophical reflections on art and aesthetics. . . Nancy masterfully explicates the threshold role art plays in the philosophical distinctions between the sensory and the sensible, life and death.”—Georges Van Den Abbeele, University of California, Davis
