Читать книгу The Fragile Skin of the World - Jean-Luc Nancy - Страница 5

This book was born out of the desire to join to our worries for tomorrow a welcome for the present, by way of which we move towards tomorrow. Without this welcome, anxiety and frenzy devastate us. Yet we would remain stupid if we didn’t worry. This is the starting point for a proximity or a companionship of texts from diverse regimes and registers, all oriented towards the same concern about what is currently happening to us – we, late humanoids. What happens to us when we ourselves arrive at an extremity of our history, whether this extremity should turn out to be a stage, a rupture or, quite simply, a last breath. The composition of this volume seeks to bear witness to this. It is the result of work undertaken together with Cécile Bourguignon, to whom I would like to express here my affectionate gratitude.

I would also like to thank Jean-Christophe Bailly and Juan Manuel Garrido for having accepted the invitation to join us.
