This is the second major volume in Jean-Luc Nancy's long-announced project of the "deconstruction of Christianity," one of the major projects in philosophy of religion in recent decades.
Jean-Luc Nancy (1940–2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Université de Strasbourg and one of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century’s foremost thinkers of politics, art, and the body. His wide-ranging thought runs through many books, including Being Singular Plural, The Ground of the Image, Corpus, The Disavowed Community, and Sexistence. His book The Intruder was adapted into an acclaimed film by Claire Denis. John McKeane is Lecturer in Modern French Literature at the University of Reading. He is the translator of Jean-Luc Nancy’s Adoration: the Deconstruction of Christianity II.
"Nancy pursues his explorations of Dis-Enclosure: The Deconstruction of Christianity by treating the old and complex Christian 'legacy' in an original and stimulating manner, thereby demonstrating a remarkable mastery of and erudition in the fields of Christian theology and of the philosophy of religion. But he also takes some important new steps in this trajectory that will fascinate the reader." Laurens ten Kate, University for Humanistics, Utrecht, The Netherlands
