Alain Badiou's philosophical project is a genuine system in the traditional sense. It profoundly shakes up the field of thought as well as offering fresh insights into contemporary events. His concepts are becoming indispensable tools in a variety of fields, from philosophy to anthropology, including art, politics and theatre. From Antiphilosophy to Worlds and from Beckett to Wittgenstein, over 90 entries in this dictionary provide detailed explanations and engagements with his key concepts and some of his major interlocutors. They also reflect the crucial divergences in Badiou scholarship in a productive and enlightening way.

Add 2nd endorsement Author approved 'The Nancy Dictionary opens many pathways into Nancy's writings and their critical reception. Addressing the key concepts and thinkers associated with his work, the Dictionary offers an especially generous set of initiatives in which readers move in and between the numerous texts that compose the extraordinary reach of Nancy's thinking.' Philip Armstrong, Ohio State University The first dictionary dedicated to the work of Jean-Luc Nancy The Nancy Dictionary presents a crucial introduction to this key figure in the contemporary intellectual landscape. It considers the full scope of his writing and provides insights into his philosophical and theoretical background in order to understand his key areas of focus on community, ontology, religion and aesthetics. Not merely a dictionary of terms, it also offers a guide to the key controversies in Nancy's work by some of the most important scholars writing on Nancy today. In this way, The Nancy Dictionary provides both those who are new and those who are familiar with his work a place of entry into the lively debates over the fate of his work and of philosophy after deconstruction more generally.
