"A beautiful, profound series of reflections on the body by one of the most prominent and consequential philosophers of continental Europe. This landmark volume brings into English Jean-Luc Nancy's last completed work and concludes his remarkable philosophical reflections on the body, a project he began almost thirty years ago. Taking the body as an intersection of pulsing life and destructive cruelty on a global scale, Nancy's account becomes more vivid, more physical, than ever, even as it ventures into language that is as lyrical as it is profound. This vividness is manifest in blood: as it flows, in all its pulsing and forceful circulation, and as it spills, in the cruelty of existences confronted daily by countless destructions. This can be described as sanguis and cruor, the two Latin words for blood's intermingled but distinct aspects. This distinction allows Nancy to highlight an almost mystical sense of the body (yet one that remains soberly on this side of its manifest insistence), alongside the cruelty that pervades our world - a world whose very existence is threatened by its reduction to mere objects. The exceptional writings brought together in Corpus III comprise a masterful work of philosophy that marries rigorous erudition - on Freud, Nietzsche, and others - with rich poetic language and an actual poem. Nancy's thought opens the body onto its own unaccountable origins, its plural singularities, its enmeshed instantiations, and its excessive irreducibles, which are also the elusive excesses of language. Whereas in earlier texts Nancy has referred to this excess as poetry, here he performs it in the form of a poem, in the extraordinary hymn entitled Stoma. While the publication of a poem by Nancy is a notable event, equally noteworthy is a remarkable essay entitled "Scandalous Death," in which Nancy meditated on a subject that was to come to him too soon after. Above all, the book is crucial for bringing into English Cruor, the very last book Nancy completed before his death, an evocative meditation offered by a great thinker on the complex conditions of his own - and our - singular survival"--

Die Phänomenologie der Leiblichkeit kann auf eine umfangreiche Tradition zurückblicken, die von Husserls phänomenologischer (Wieder-)Entdeckung und Aufwertung des Leibes, über Merleau- Ponty, Sartre, Lévinas, Patočka und Ricoeur bis hin zu neueren Diskussionen bei Henry, Derrida, Waldenfels, Marion und Richir reicht. Die gemeinsame Ausrichtung dieser mitunter stark divergierenden Positionen ist darin zu sehen, dass sie die leibhaftige Verfassung wie Fundierung aller Existenzvollzüge – mithin allen Erfahrens, Denkens und Handelns – ins Zentrum der Analyse rücken, um von daher diese Konzepte kritisch zu überdenken und andere Themenbereiche in ihrem Licht aufzugreifen. Entscheidend für die Leibphänomenologie sind dabei Husserls Einsichten, dass der Leib einerseits das „ursprünglichst Meine“, andererseits aber auch ein „unvollständig konstituiertes Ding“ ist. Husserl zeigte damit an, dass unsere Leiberfahrung nicht nur von einer unaufhebbaren Zweideutigkeit gezeichnet ist, sondern letztlich von einer ontologischen Spaltung bzw. einem originären Entzug kündet, die sich auch mit den methodischen Mitteln von Reflexion und Reduktion nicht aufheben lässt.
